Eyes Shut

I stare at the walls

Boy, do they speak

I can't quiet them all

They keep me from my sleep

But trust me, I do dream

I dream while I'm awake

My best friends are the stars and the moon

I know them all by name

Eyes shut, but I'm wide awake

Lights out, but I still radiate

I'm on the run from every dream that tries to find me

I'm not afraid of the dark, but afraid of the dawn

I like the quiet, so don't wake me up

Got my eyes shut, eyes shut

I lay here in my bed

While truth preys on me

And it whispers in my head

Drowning out the peace

I have broken the clock

Is it day or is it night?

I'm sleepwalking, I'm in a trance

How long can I fight?

Eyes shut, but I'm wide awake

Lights out, but I still radiate

I'm on the run from every dream that tries to find me

I'm not afraid of the dark, but afraid of the dawn

I like the quiet, so don't wake me up

Got my eyes shut, eyes shut

In the half-light, I can't hide from these long, dark nights

In the half-light, I can't hide from these long, dark nights

In the half-light, I can't hide from these long, dark nights

In the half-light, I can't hide from these long, dark nights

Eyes shut, but I'm wide awake

Lights out, but I still radiate

I'm on the run from every dream that tries to find me

I'm not afraid of the dark, but afraid of the dawn

I like the quiet, so don't wake me up

Got my eyes shut, eyes shut

Got my eyes shut
