They are contact lenses. I have seen the exact kind of contact lenses at the store where I buy some of my metal clothling. I would never buy those contact lenses, they are quite gay! Well look who is whering them!

"There is something weird about it too... look at their eyes. I think they are on some kind of drugs."

I'm not sure but I think that comes from an intense night of biting one's pillow and screaming.

Maybe Lanc can confirm this. I understand they performed some "laxitive" procedure on him. Took him a few days to recover.
