Close Your Eyes

[chorus]

Close your eyes

Close your eyes

Don't close your eyes

Close your eyes

Please don't close your eyes

[verse 1]

I walk a thin line every day of my life with the way that i live

And everything i say and i write

Words meshing with the melody, i'm staying up nights

I will fuck, cuss, fight, or pray in this mic

I been ugly, i been beautiful

I'm a serpent sliding inside of a sin musical

Since in uteral was unusual, isolated

Christ i waited up nights with hatred in a chrysler wasted

Driving drunk, hit the gas pedal flash to a suicidal fantasy

My head through the dash would crash metal

Reflecting the flashing lights from the ambulance vans

Trying to bandage a man who lays bloody in a pool

Nobody is a fool, just the world's either lovely

Or it's ugly and it's cruel

On the out looking in, so suddenly it's you

Inside trying to get out with nothing you can do

Except

[chorus]

[verse 2]

So many times i coulda quit, i shoulda

Shit, i tried so hard, it wouldn't hit, i couldn't fit

In this saturated world of infatuated girls

Frustrated my head twirls, my mind spins

The days of cravings for alcohol end with dying friends

Time spent and a pocket full of lint

I thought about a bullet sent in my head

So many of us did and some of us injected the lead

Instead i respected the dead and elected for life

So i could share emotion breathe breath in the mic

In a second a second life will ensue

Cause i believe evil exists but good is true

And i can see the good in you

I can't say the same for me

There was times i was lost walking aimlessly

So i listened to the taps of the rain to sleep

And when it rapped on the pane yo it sang to me
