Close Your Eyes
Close your eyes and go to sleep
Only to realize you’re in too deep
Drift off to a dream but what does it mean
So much in life is not what it seems.
Close your eyes and then slip away
It didn’t matter anyways it just became yesterday
Close your eyes and it will be alright
The darkness overwhelms with the coming of night
The stars seem to dance with delight
Maybe I’ll get some sleep tonight?
Close your eyes there’s nothing there
Then act as if you just don’t care
The dreams feel like they’re nowhere
Where the people stop and start to stare.
Close your eyes and go to sleep
The hill has gotten way too steep
Your eyes well up and you start to weep
You close your eyes and then took the leap.
Close your eyes and try to forget
The rain returns and you’re soaking 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 a game you play
Now it’s just another day
Close your eyes and hold on tight
Try and survive another night…
