Lyrics
Intro:
Every single night
I lay back having conversations with myself
Imagining there’s someone else.
But it’s only me.
Poetic Flow:
Laying down with my eyes half-closed
having conversations with a man dressed in dark clothes
his face barely exposed
only showing two eyes that glows in the candle light
With slight fear I’m asking him when it’ll be my plight
to take off of here and disappear into the dawning night
I’m not eager to take an early flight
but I want to be prepared
so I wouldn’t be scared
when the time is there to leave behind those who cared
Throw away my f***ed up being on earth
always on the run, been fleeing since birth
not seeing what I’m really worth
Sometimes I wish He would’ve taken me a long time ago
so I wouldn’t have to deal with how I try to grow
a flower searching for the light but caught in the falling snow
Wishing for that one shiny ray of sun
to fall upon the barrel of a gun pointed at my lung
one squeeze and the problems are done.
Hook (2x):
I close my eyes
only for a moment
then the moment's gone.
Poetic Flow:
I’m sitting as I stare into his eyes
to my surprise
I’m revealing my thoughts to the darkened skies
there’s no room for lies
as I’m talking to the man who’s seen many people’s cries
falling down on their way to doom
His glowing eyes are piercing thru my room
feeling like I’m caged, trapped in someone else’s tomb
I’m filled with coldness in a blink
desperately searching for the missing link
it’s time to rethink as I overflood this paper with my tears of ink
I’ve never been quick to plan ahead of time
always falling two steps behind
until survival instinct takes over my mind
I stagnate, standing still in a sad state
looking closely at my soul-mate
knowing he’s the only one who can relate to what I’m feeling
Stealing smiles, happiness is so appealing
still I’m stuck between four walls staring at a dirty ceiling
and I close my eyes for just a single moment.
Hook (repeat till fade):
I close my eyes
Only for a moment
then the moment's gone.
