Close Your Eyes

who is this man in the mirror?
his time is up and i want him out of here

it couldn't be me (it couldn't be me)
or can i not see (or can i not see)
where this path is leading me

you will know judgement
you will know suffering
when the drug no longer fills your veins
vices trap us all inside
of our own hopeless mind
when your voice gives out
i'll sing the song of solace
and when you just can't carry on
i'll be there

don't waste your time when the sky is falling down
our hopes and dreams come crashing to the ground
with all the things in life that never made much sense at all
just close your eyes
as the world comes crashing down

i'll be your life's new author
i can't burn away my torture
i am not a monster
i can't burn away my torture

so god how could you leave me on my knees?
broken and screaming save me please
i'll leave it all behind just tell me why
is it really my turn to die?

don't waste your time when the sky is falling down
our hopes and dreams come crashing to the ground
with all the things in life that never made much sense at all
just close your eyes
as the world comes crashing down
