Close My Eyes

(album: Nothing Remains The Same - 2002)

Can't see faith through the tears
Of my swollen eyes
I try to dry
I pretend it's not as bad as it seems... what a lie

How can we be so blind
Every time a child dies
People are starving
Rain forests are falling
The bombs are dropping from the sky

I don't know why it sticks in my head
I close my eyes and it hurts me so bad
I don't know why it sticks in my head
I close my eyes I close my eyes

I close my eyes

I look away from this misery
And I hope the problem will disappear

But it still hurts me everytime a child dies
It's like a knife you stab in my heart
And twist it, twist it, twist it around

I don't know why it sticks in my head
I close my eyes and it hurts me so bad
I don't know why it sticks in my head
I close my eyes I close my eyes
