Crazy Eyes

Oh dear crazy eyes
Why are you soaked all night?
You keep going back and forth
Not sleeping through the light

What is the matter?
Oh dear crazy eyes
You look happy watching the skies
Then suddenly tense and stigmatized
I truly fail to understand
What’s your story, crazy eyes?

You seem to have fallen deeply
Into a pit of love-stained graffiti
You stare at the walls
Thinking someone will rescue you
You don’t know the pain that will crawl
From your haunted vision
To your aching, yearning heart

You will slowly become your own insanity
Trapped in an ocean of agony

Oh dear crazy eyes
I am giving you one last piece of advice
Why do you keep attaching yourself
Even when you know the truth?
To a world that will vanish soon
Even if you gather everything
It will still slip from your fists

So please
Save yourself from this grief
Oh dear crazy eyes
