Repeat

close your eyes
breathe
and it might all go away

you open your eyes
and see that nothing has changed
except time

and while you were huddled on the floor
screaming and sobbing
and wishing

you began to see that your life
is like mine
full of sorrow and pity and hatred

but you kept hoping
you kept dreaming

you curled into a ball
trying to protect yourself

from the realities of the real world
the world you've been denying for so long

that now as you slowly learn the rules of the game
you feel weak and dizzy

so you closed your eyes
breathed
and hoped it all went away

you open your eyes
nothing has changed

you close your eyes
breathe
make a wish
and open your eyes

now repeat...

but face it..

everytime you close your eyes
you close your mind
and that

doesnt solve anything
