I Close My Eyes

In heat of the moment

In the eye of the storm

Oh, when the high tide turns around

I tread water waiting to be found

In the dream of the shepherd

In the blood on the thorn

Oh, when the warships run aground

I breed monsters, feeding on the drowned

In the daze of confusion

In the glare of the glow

Oh, when the demon comes unbound

I dive under, drowning out the sound

In the noise of the silence

In the force of the blow

Oh, when the towers tumble down

I sink further, going underground

I seek sanctuary

Take me in

Keep me safe

I seek sanctuary

Take my sins

Keep my faith

Squaring circles, cutting ice

Hacking numbers, telling lies

Dreaming nightmares, waking up

Twisting, shouting, dying twice

Little poems from the skies

Fading daydreams falling down

Falling down

In the heat of the moment

In the eye of the storm

Oh, when the high tide turns around

I tread water waiting to be found

In the dream of the shepherd

In the blood on the thorn

Oh, when the warships run aground

I breed monsters, feeding on the drowned

In the daze of confusion

In the glare of the glow

Oh, when the demon comes unbound

I dive under, drowning out the sound

In the noise of the silence

In the force of the blow

Oh, when the towers tumble down

I sink further, going underground

I sanctuary

Take me in

Keep me safe

I seek sanctuary

Take the sins

Keep my faith

Squaring circles, cutting ice

Hacking numbers, telling lies

Dreaming nightmares, waking up

Twisting, shouting, dying twice

Little poems from the skies
