Empty Eyes

I saw you on T.V.
I was sitting in a bar
Talking and laughing with friends
Couldn't hear your story over the din
I saw you on T.V.
Your eyes, that's what got to me
They were dead
Like you'd already given up
You were in cuffs
No, I never did find out your story
But I can picture you
As a little boy, hanging out with dad
Playing outside
That's how we all start off, right?
So, what the hell happened to you?
I'll never know
But I always look into people's eyes
And yours, yours were so....empty
It really stuck with me
The way you weren't IN THERE when I looked
Stuck with me
Don't know what you did
But a lost soul always makes me sad
