Behind Yellow Eyes



Who is the man behind yellow eyes?
Does he drink a lot?
Does he have a tattoo?
Is he high?
Who is the man behind yellow eyes?
Does he sleep in fear?
Does he think about death?
Is he depressed?
Who is the man behind yellow eyes?
Does his feet hurt?
Does he cramp?
Is his skin yellow?
Who is the man behind yellow eyes?
Does he dream of the morning light as it shines through slabs of marble?
Does he remember a day in an old wooden bar laughing with his friends?
Does he remember a tall woman with tan skin and long dark flowing hair?
Who is the man behind yellow eyes?
Does he remember how many times he clocked in to start his day at his job?
Does he remember how many times he climbed out of his mattress of a bed at 6am?
Who is the man behind yellow eyes?
Does he remember his last glass of Moët & Chandon Champagne?
Does he remember his last bottle of Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout?
Does he remember his last taste of Methylenedioxyamphetamine?
Who is that man behind the yellow eyes?
