I closed my eyes when I was scared
I closed my eyes so I couldn’t see
I fell into a heavy sleep
And I haven’t woken since

Their words, they follow me
Through my sleep they form a lullaby
Some of them are nice
So sweet, I’d never want to forget

But then the lullaby turns sour
I still refuse to wake
It is so cruel
It cuts me into pieces
But this is so addicting
I can’t seem to let go

Like snow on grass
So heavy, so deep
I’ve slumbered through the worst storms
I’ve kept my eyes closed all the way
I’m afraid I won’t wake again

I closed my eyes
So I wouldn’t have to see you
I closed my eyes
To keep the pain away
But it’s gone too far
I need to face my fears

How many years have passed
I’m not quite certain
The people always change
But the words remain the same
They’ve never touched me
But their damage goes beyond
What can be seen

Spring is around the corner
But I can still feel the chill
But soon comes a warm breeze
To remind me I am real

Maybe it’s time
With the birds and the flowers
I need to drop this knife
And bandage my scars

The ground beneath starts to stir
I can no longer be content and still
My eyes half open
I’m half awake
I’m still too tired
For spring times’ make

If I opened my eyes
Would you still be around?
If I opened my eyes
Would I die on the spot?
I’m scared out of my wits
But I know one day
I must face my fears

Eyes wide open
Heart on my sleeve
Here’s my token
Please let me be

I’m tired of being tired
Sick of being sick
Help me believe
I am worth something more
And I’ll give into this pull
To do something more

I’ll dig myself out
Of this pitiful hole
I’ll let them see what
They did to me
And maybe not now
But in the years to come
The guilt will renew itself
And haunt their dreams
Maybe they’ll change their ways
And no more victims will
Fall asleep

I’m stronger now
Though there’s much
I yet don’t understand
I’m strong enough
To keep my eyes open
