love and hate
trust betrayed
a wife dismayed
a girl's childhood fades
way past indescretion
and manipulation
the evil that rises
behind those old eyes
CHORUS
what hides behind those jolly old eyes
a young child cries at the demon in desguise
secrets and lies
a family devides
and you hide behind those jolly old eyes
V2
I remember this
with clenched fists
a slap on the wrist
for a conscience remiss
why do we go on living
as if you're forgiven
for the evil that rises
behind those old eyes
CHORUS
BRIDGE
through festivities
and family fun
could I be
the only one
with memories unspoken
and silence not broken
as we all gather round the demon in disguise
and ignore what lies
behind those old eyes
CHORUS
-Portia 2005
