Eyes Closed lyrics

A whole world is out there

But not if the eyes are closed

Nothing but the darkness

Surviving shrouded, unsure

Uncertainty and consternation

To turn the head away, eyes closed

An attempt to hide from it all

Unlike a child afraid of the dark

Wishing for it, wanting it so

Concealed from the realities about

Perchance an accumulation

Its toll unmarked, unmasked

By but an erring blink long

That finds the universe still there

All the while praying for it to end

A basic sense thus misunderstood

That blind men pray for every day

To see the lights, the colours about

With little value for the complexities

Unable to regard it with eyes closed
