Close Your Eyes

"You see, outside is midnight,
But I close my eyes, and it's day
If I remember to shut them tight
The darkness will go away

And then in the morning I must return
Remember my reality,
Fight for the truth, before it'd burn,
Escape a dark fatality.

Ignore the fierce world's strife
I have to savour every last breath
Because living a dark life
Is better than dying a dark death.

And remember that tonight,
I can close my eyes once more
Forget my ongoing fight
And release my riled up roar.

Won't waste my time on weeping,
I see peace inside my head.
While you all think I'm sleeping,
I'm thinking up new worlds in bed.

Every now and then just take a break,
Hide yourself in the pretty lies,
See just the difference it will make,
Stay awake in bed, see the time it buys.

Dream up a world within the darkness
Create a scene that never weeps
Your mind is your own canvas
And the dreamer never sleeps. "
