Close My Eyes To Block My Lies
As I think of night
With pale light
My eyes close
My lies leave
My friends all trust me
I know I shouldn't
Suddenly
The night is cold and black
In minutes I find nothing
Beating heart of mine
Beating in my ear
Maybe my ear is in my heart
That the bleakness is mine
My fault
The darkness overwhelms
I can't make it stop
I scream and run
Hitting things as I go
My heartbeat no longer sounding in my ears
My eyes open to a night
The pale light not so pale
My skin tingles with the warmth
Of the original night
My own guilt broken
Undone
And I crawl to bed
To think of what I've done
With pale light
My eyes close
My lies leave
My friends all trust me
I know I shouldn't
Suddenly
The night is cold and black
In minutes I find nothing
Beating heart of mine
Beating in my ear
Maybe my ear is in my heart
That the bleakness is mine
My fault
The darkness overwhelms
I can't make it stop
I scream and run
Hitting things as I go
My heartbeat no longer sounding in my ears
My eyes open to a night
The pale light not so pale
My skin tingles with the warmth
Of the original night
My own guilt broken
Undone
And I crawl to bed
To think of what I've done
