    My Eyes

    by: Neil Patrick Harris

    HORRIBLE
    Any dolt with half a brain
    Can see that humankind has gone insane
    To the point where I don’t know
    If I’ll upset the status quo
    If I throw poison in the water main
    Listen close to everybody’s heart
    And hear that breaking sound
    Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
    And crashing to the ground
    I cannot believe my eyes
    How the world’s filled with filth and lies
    But it’s plain to see
    Evil inside of me is on the rise
    PENNY
    Look around
    We’re living with the lost and found
    Just when you feel you’ve almost drowned
    You find yourself on solid ground
    And you believe
    There’s good in everybody’s heart
    Keep it safe and sound
    With hope, you can do your part
    To turn a life around
    I cannot believe my eyes
    Is the world finally growing wise
    ‘Cause it seems to me
    Some kind of harmony
    Is on the rise
    HORRIBLE (overlapping with Penny below)
    Anyone with half a brain
    Could spend their whole life howling in pain
    ‘Cause the dark is everywhere
    And Penny doesn’t seem to care
    That soon the dark in me is all that will remain
    Listen close to everybody’s heart
    And hear that breaking sound
    Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
    And crashing to the ground
    I cannot believe my eyes
    How the world’s filled with filth and lies
    But it’s plain to see
    Evil inside of me is on the rise
    PENNY
    Take it slow
    He looks at me and seems to know
    The things that I’m afraid to show
    And suddenly I feel this glow
    And I believe
    There’s good in everybody’s heart
    Keep it safe and sound
    With hope, you can do your part
    To turn a life around
    I cannot believe my eyes
    How the world’s finally growing wise
    And it’s plain to see
