Franklin Lavender - Somber Eyes (Acoustic) Lyrics

Well I'm a long forgotten someone
A next to nothing, no one's loved one
I stand tall in my misery and disgrace
With one hand on the bottle
The other on the gospel
I'll say prayer, to take me away from this place
Well I'm a long way from lonesome
I've got my demons, I guess that's something
Though I prefer the warmth of a lover's embrace
I try to hide my hunger
To feel the peals of thunder
To let me know I've not slipped below the clay
What can I do
Have I come this far to fall short of the prize
What can I say
Will these tears of longing fizzle before I die
I just don't know
I just don't know
Can you still see light in my somber eyes
There's not much left of my frivolity
Just some vapors and not much quality
I'm forever the hopeless, soulless clown
But I smile through the anger
Tiptoe through the danger and come out on the other side of down
What can I do
Have I come this far to fall short of the prize
What can I say
Will these tears of longing fizzle before I die
I just don't know
I just don't know, yeah
What will I say
Will the pearly gates vacate their golden chains
What will I do
When I stand before the throne of grace
I just don't know
I just don't know
But I hope you'll see some light in my somber eyes
In my somber eyes
