Sunglasses

Why do you wear shades inside?
Is there something you're trying to hide?

There is no sunlight here
Only shade, so sun damage you shouldn't fear

If the light inside is too bright, say no more
I can easily flip the switch, and that's for sure

Tell me, why do you casually strut in a room with them on when big business is at hand?
Is it that you're resolute, omniscient, and abundant? Please help me to overstand.

Even when we're outside and the clouds are gray, you have them on
I'm a little confused, or maybe not; there is no sunlight. Come on, Son!

I heard eyes were the windows to the soul
We're inside, so why keep them covered? Has yours been sold?

My, my, I guess cool is just too cool
But wait, I thought again and realized I'm nobody's fool
