When I close my eyes
10/08/2003
When I close my eyes
does the world dissappear?
am I left standing on a sugar cube?
I sneak open an I
'cos I want to know why
this world is so confused
I chew on my pen
as I look in the mirror
my reflection chews back at me
I've tried real hard
to catch it off gaurd
out the corner of my eye
chorus
why do I have to try
to keep my head above the water
I want to swim
but it just makes me feel awkward
well I guess I've tried
waking from a dream
to find out what's really there
deep down
in the darkest of my dreams
I got a scare
It shook me
like a train of the rails
and melted my body
I drank from
the forbidden forest
and tasted it's honey
chorus
why do I have to try
to keep my head above the water
I want to swim
but it just makes me feel awkward
makes me feel sad
makes me want to run away
