Don't Close Your Eyes

(album: Rise As Equals - 2020)

Don't close your eyes
Please don't look away

Sharks in the water
They're surrounding me
If I ascend
I could try to breathe
Drowning by the day
It's agony (it's agony)

This struggle's got me feeling helpless
They say I could control it
There's no way to contain the worst parts in me
I'm fighting hurricanes
I thought you'd always hold us
My hull is taking ocean
I'll ride this tidal wave
Until the storm breaks

Don't close your eyes
Please don't look away
This riptide
Carries me away
Fills my lungs, fills my veins
Takes my breath away from me
Find me where mountains meet the waves

I'm drifting further
And I'm sinking deep
So I pretend to make myself believe
I can see the surface
It's out of reach (it's out of reach)

This struggle's got me feeling helpless
They say I could control it
There's no way to contain the worst parts in me
I'm fighting hurricanes
I thought you'd always hold us
My hull is taking ocean
I'll ride this tidal wave
Until the storm breaks

Don't close your eyes
Please don't look away
This riptide
Carries me away
Fills my lungs, fills my veins
Takes my breath away from me
Find me where mountains meet the waves

Fills my lungs, fills my veins
Takes my breath away from me

Don't close your eyes
Please don't look away
This riptide
Carries me away
Fills my lungs, fills my veins
(Fill my lungs, fill my veins)
Takes my breath away from me
(Took my breath away from me)
Fills my lungs, fills my veins
(Fill my lungs, fill my veins)
Takes my breath away from me
(Took my breath away from me)
