(Don't) Close Your Eyes
(Don't) Close Your Eyes

dropped the ball to the ground
the rolling thunder
my catastrophic
burning tear drops
fanning flames on the face
crooked woodwork pounding nails
drilled in my skull
a tortured martyr
dripping blood on
our eyes at attention

fanning flames on the face
our eyes at attention

gives us the words to sing
our notes dive off this cliff tonight
one last chance to feel this
i'm crawling out of my skin
gives us the words to sing
our notes dive off this cliff tonight
into the vastness of this
don't close your eyes

dropped the ball to the ground
the rolling thunder
my catastrophic
burning tear drops
fanning flames on the face
crooked woodwork pounding nails
drilled in my skull
a tortured martyr
dripping blood on
our eyes at attention

gives us the words to sing
our notes dive off this cliff tonight
one last chance to feel this
i'm crawling out of my skin
gives us the words to sing
our notes dive off this cliff tonight
into the vastness of this
don't close your eyes

damn this silence it's so defeating
cancelled checks and we're running nowhere
any other way counts as cheating
lead the way so that i'll believe this

dropped the ball to the ground
the rolling thunder
my catastrophic
burning tear drops
fanning flames on the face
crooked woodwork pounding nails
drilled in my skull
a tortured martyr
dripping blood on
our eyes at attention
