Close My Eyes

If i closed my eyes, tell me,

Would it all just be a dream.

and if i held them tight could, it last forever

erasing all the pain i've seen,

trapping me in a land of happiness

instead of greed.

If i closed my eyes, forever

could i escape this world of hate & misery

or would i still need to bleed.

Pouring out my sins for a thankless,

godless, nation.

feeling the spirit of death closing in on me.
