I keep feeling my eyes close shut
You know i love you sincerely but
Now i just wanna be still
And not move and not think
Be still, be still, move and make me feel ill
I was afraid, my eyes shut
Don't open my body up
I don't wanna be in my body
Oh imagine this overhead light
I'll believe anything you tell me is right
If you just let me be still
And not move and not think
Still, still, think and make me feel ill
I was afraid, my eyes shut
Don't open my body up
I don't wanna be in my body
It makes me sick to shut up
So open my body up
Oh come on, oh come on
And open my body up
I'm imagining an overhead light
I believe anything that you tell me is right
I don't wanna be in my body
It's the biggest trick
It makes me sick to shut up
So open my body up
Come on, come on
Open my body up
