Yellow Eyes

Lyrics

[Spoken Word: Danai Gurira] You didn't choose to live That choice was made for you Leaving you to reap the rewards, yes But also to pay the cost I saw the hurt that caused When the bill came due I had to see it I was forced to watch every time Forced to watch As everything you were granted Everything you found, or earned, or built Was stripped from you One way or another I am sorry I... overstepped The near endless procession of loss That formed your existеnce Even punctuated as it was By bursts of cruеlty... and indignity I know you found happiness in it, on occasion Only you can know if, in its totality Your existence was meaningful Only you had the right to decide it was worth the cost But you get to decide now In fact, you must Because everything that comes next... or doesn't Will be shaped by you
