I Close My Eyes

In heat of the moment In the eye of the storm Oh, when the high tide turns around I tread water waiting to be found In the dream of the shepherd In the blood on the thorn Oh, when the warships run aground I breed monsters, feeding on the drowned In the daze of confusion In the glare of the glow Oh, when the demon comes unbound I dive under, drowning out the sound In the noise of the silence In the force of the blow Oh, when the towers tumble down I sink further, going underground I seek sanctuary Take me in Keep me safe I seek sanctuary Take my sins Keep my faith Squaring circles, cutting ice Hacking numbers, telling lies Dreaming nightmares, waking up Twisting, shouting, dying twice Little poems from the skies Fading daydreams falling down Falling down In the heat of the moment In the eye of the storm Oh, when the high tide turns around I tread water waiting to be found In the dream of the shepherd In the blood on the thorn Oh, when the warships run aground I breed monsters, feeding on the drowned In the daze of confusion In the glare of the glow Oh, when the demon comes unbound I dive under, drowning out the sound In the noise of the silence In the force of the blow Oh, when the towers tumble down I sink further, going underground I sanctuary Take me in Keep me safe I seek sanctuary Take the sins Keep my faith Squaring circles, cutting ice Hacking numbers, telling lies Dreaming nightmares, waking up Twisting, shouting, dying twice Little poems from the skies Fading daydreams falling down Falling down Can't keep the pace, these demons days Are piling up like falling towers everywhere Could regret or try to forget the little things That bind my mind to my memories But I don't know that down below the pain remains In different shapes and shades I need to sleep I have to stop and catch my breath And view the world with my eyes closed I close my eyes I close my eyes I close my eye
