Imagine It
You open your eyes, and the world fades
You close your eyes, and become a memory
Imagine a biting chill deep in your bones
A sanctuary for your age to reveal itself
The world is beautiful when you close your eyes
That is what the trees whispered to me
But they're dying bitter deaths
In a world that doesn't care for them
Imagine every beautiful moment in your life
Obscured by the ugly vision of one who hates you
Imagine their anguish every time you smile
It's a chill that rattles their very breath
You close your eyes, and become a memory
You open your eyes, and the world fades
We're all fighting for life here
But if we didn't have to...imagine it
