Close Your Eyes, Live Your Lies
close your eyes
live your lies
fall into a world
where dreams are born
reality itself torn
fantasies are explored
on the shores
of paradise
the angels serenade you
with words of wisdom
and grant you the power of
limitless freedom
close your eyes
live your lies
fall into a world
where fear lurks
on every corner
of your sub-conscience
screaming non-sense into your skull
until you want to toss your hand and fold
the demons pulverize you
into oblivion
and lock you in a cell
for all eternity
