Eyes Are Closed

When I look at you, eyes are closed

I am terrified. I suppose it's

Natural not to know

Terrible eyes are closing

On the repast I wanted

I had to behave this way

Come on, give me what I want

When you closed the fist

Never felt like this before

Give me what I want

Never once considered what I fell for

Never once, never once, never once

I once could count on you

To bring me joy, to bring me joy

To bring me out

The illness in those hills--

You kept me safe, you kept me safe

You kept it out

When you look at me, eyes are closed

I know perfectly well I chose this

On the inside of the eyelid, I live

All I believe in is night and day

Lost in the scheme of the light/shade

I had to behave this way

Come on, give me what I want

When you closed the fist

Never felt like this before

Give me what I want

Never once considered what I fell for

Never once, never once, never once

I once could count on you

To bring me joy, to bring me joy

To bring me out

The illness in those hills--

You kept me safe, you kept me safe

You kept it out

I once could count on you

To light the lamps, to light the lamps

To fill the dark

The illness in those hills

Flooded in, it flooded in and

It took me out
