Close Your Eyes
[Verse 1]
Nip it in the bud
I'd do it if I could
Do it if I could
Always knew I should and
Never understood
Never understood

[Pre-Chorus]
I will go where I must
Taking in what I can
I will go if I must
Making up what I can

[Chorus]
Close your eyes
(Yeah yeah yeah)...
Look inside
Look inside

[Verse 2]
Another idle pain and
Vision down the drain
Going down the drain
And all my yester know days
Will never be the same
Never be the same
[Pre-Chorus]
I will go if I must
Taking in what I can
I will go 'cos I must
Making up what I can

[Chorus]
Close your eyes
(I'm trying to)
Close your eyes
(I'm going to)...
Look inside...

[Bridge]
My destiny
I know it will be
Deterred this time
Or ever can be

[Verse 3]
There's no use lying
I'm just as scared of dying as everyone
Someone in the know said
You're a long time dead
He's never wrong
[Chorus]
Close your eyes
(I'm trying to)
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
(I'm trying to)
Close your eyes
(I'm going to)...
Look inside...

[Outro]
Is there something in your mind?
Are you slipping on a stone?
If there's nothing in your mind
Won't you leave my world alone?
Is there something in your mind?
Are you slipping on a stone?
If there's nothing in your mind
Won't you leave my world alone?
Leave my world
Leave my world
Alone
