Closed Eyes (Music: Ryini Beats)
Making music is my therapy- come join the ride!
Lyrics
Theyre not my friends
Its not my place
And over this distance, I
Cant hear the slap upon her face
Its not my house
Nor my own family
Why do I feel the need to try
To stop this insanity
Bridge:
That piece of polished wood
Tightens in his hand
One swing and she is done
Because he ain't no man
Chorus:
Closed eyes can never see
Its everywhere around
Closed ears can never hear
Her body hit the ground
So open up your eyes
See the world beyond your door
And know that as you turn away
Its happening once more
The roles my parents knew
Have faded from my mind
Never knew such pain could live
In these "enlightened" times
Ignore an IG post
But now all I can see
Is that one split-second moment of
Violence in front of me
Chorus:
Closed eyes can never see
Its everywhere around
Closed ears can never hear
Her body hit the ground
So open up your eyes
See the world beyond your door
And know that as you turn away
Its happening once more
I know what you must think
I was once there too
Didnt see it in my life
Blind to that cold truth
Now my eyes are open wide
Shocked by what I found
What one can do to another
While no one makes a sound
Bridge:
This piece of polished wood
Tightens in my hand
One swing and justice done
Because he ain't no man
Chorus:
Closed eyes can never see
Its everywhere around
Closed ears can never hear
Her body hit the ground
So open up your eyes
See the world beyond your door
And know that as you turn away
Its happening once more
(spoken)
He got everything he had comin' to him
