Pupil

The pupil is a hole located in the center of the iris of the eye that allows light to strike the retina. It appears black because light rays entering the pupil are either absorbed by the tissues inside the eye directly, or absorbed after diffuse reflections within the eye that mostly miss exiting the narrow pupil.

In humans the pupil is round, but other species, such as some cats, have vertical slit pupils, goats have horizontally oriented pupils, and some catfish have annular types. In optical terms, the anatomical pupil is the eye's aperture and the iris is the aperture stop. The image of the pupil as seen from outside the eye is the entrance pupil, which does not exactly correspond to the location and size of the physical pupil because it is magnified by the cornea. On the inner edge lies a prominent structure, the collarette, marking the junction of the embryonic pupillary membrane covering the embryonic pupil.

    History

    Formation

    Pupil was formed when Dok Sergio from the bands The Teeth and Daydream Cycle joined The Mongols' line-up during the fourth quarter of 2004, making it a five-man band. The Mongols' bassist Yan "Yanni" Yuzon moved to third guitar duties while Dok Sergio handled bass. The transitional five-man line-up was witnessed in The Mongols’ last single and music video entitled “Heroine”. In May 2005, guitarist Jerome Velasco, a.k.a. J. Astro, left to pursue a career in producing, recording and studio engineering. The group's last gig under the name "The Mongols" was on July 7, 2005.

    Velasco’s departure shook things up for the group as they were trapped into the decision of whether to stay as a band or not. As they decided to continue and as they progressed, the band noticed that they were producing a different sound without Velasco on the lead guitar and decided to form a "new" band. “We got a better bass player and dumber guitarist,” jokes guitarist Yan Yuzon, who left bass playing duties to Dok Sergio to take Velasco’s place. Upon the determination of forming a “new” band, the group’s first move was to change their name.

    I wish that I could see the world thru your eyes
    I wish that I could see the world thru your eyes
    You zipped thru the stars in a silver shopping cart
    Fueled by your faith in miracles
    You tend to your garden an eden with a twist
    Where the animals and angels recreate
    I wish that I could see the world thru your eyes
    I wish that I could see the world thru your eyes
    I wish that I could see the world thru your eyes
    I wish that I could see
    You were born without a care
    You fly where eagles dare
    Day or night rain or shine makes no difference
    You've learned to forgive all our sins
    You receive all things without hate
    I wish that I could see the world thru your eyes
    I wish that I could see the world thru your eyes
    I wish that I could see the world thru your eyes
    I wish that I could see
    You came and offered me a holding company
    And you gave away your shares for free
    And though it was a sad affair
    You just couldn't care
    All you could think about was letting go
    I wish that I could see the world thru your eyes
    I wish that I could see the world thru your eyes
    I wish that I could see the world thru your eyes
