Eyes Lie from Wandering Home by Model Son

Is there anyone who needs
Just a little understanding?
Who can rise above the crowd
And see things from your side?

I don’t know you, we don’t look the same
I can’t imagine you could share my pain
Our environments have kept us separate
Forcing us to isolate

Could I stop and see you’re more than just a shell
Might have a daughter, a mother in poor health
Truth come and shed the scales from my eyes
And let me see for real

Don’t believe your eyes
Is the person that you hate more alike than your realize?
Don’t believe your eyes
The more you know, the more you love, the less you criticize
Don’t believe your eyes
Is the person that you hate more alike than you realize
Don’t believe your eyes
The more you know, the more you love, the more you sympathize

Are you really so naïve, trusting only in what you see?
Is the enemy you see a reflection of your mind?


Keyboard jihadi casting stones at the void
Expert analysis, casually deployed
Angry words reveal a bedrock of fear in anonymity
But turn the tables what do you really know
Victim of media the world made so small
Soundbites of tragedies, anomalies that tickle itching ears

Whether the color of our skin, the patterns of our lives
We’re not so different, you and I

‘Cause your eyes lie
Just close them tight, it’s gonna take some time
‘Cause your eyes lie
To change your mind, find out what is on the inside
‘Cause your eyes lie
Just close them tight, it’s gonna take some time
‘Cause your eyes lie
To change your life, find out what is on the inside
