Close Your Eyes
Close Your Eyes……..
Close your eyes and go to sleep,to realize you’re in too deep.
You drift off to a dream,but what does it all mean?
Close your eyes then slip away,forget about what is today.
It doesn’t matter anyway,it just becomes yesterday.
Close your eyes it will be alright,maybe I will sleep tonight?
Close your eyes there’s nothing there,act as if you just don’t care……..
The dreams feel like they’re nowhere,where people stop and start to stare.
Close your eyes and go to sleep,the hill has gotten way too steep.
Your eyes well up you start to weep,you closed your eyes then took the leap.
Close your eyes try to forget,the rain returns you’re getting wet.
It all was lost upon a bet,what you want you cannot get.
Close your eyes and drift away,it doesn’t matter what you say.
It’s just become the game you play,now it’s just another day.
Close you eyes and hold them tight,as you head into the night.
Greed consumes a bigger bite,happiness is consumed by fright.
Close your eyes and you’ll see me,see all the things that you can be.
Lost just like a ship at sea,wonder if you’re really free?
Close your eyes and dream some more,it opens up another door.
The things you get you wanted more,dream about what is in store.
Close your eyes and I’ll be there,like a ghost that appears from nowhere.
The future comes you pay the fare,it costs too much but you don’t care.
Close your eyes and I’ll see you,everything that you’ve been through.
It doesn’t matter what you do,it always was inside of you………
Close your eyes to this lullaby,thought I heard the angel’s cry?
It seems another son has died,no one knows really why?
It’s funny how the time just flies,close your eyes the day’s gone by……….
Close your eyes and touch the sky,it’s easy all you do is try.
It may appear you’ve gone too high,but spread your wings and expect to fly………
