[Verse 1]
He had a black eye he was proud of
Like some of his friends
It made him feel somewhere outside
Of everything and everywhere he'd been
[Verse 2]
Like his brothers, he emptied himself
And played it safe
Like their father, he wanted to remember
But he almost always forgot what he was gonna say
[Chorus]
Black eye
Black eye
[Verse 3]
When he realized that this one
Was here to stay
He took down all the mirrors in the hallway
And thought only of his younger face
[Chorus]
Black eye
Black eye
