keep your eyes closed

go ahead
keep them closed

for what is in front of you
might not be
what you want to see
don't open your eyes
what is before you
may terrify you
it may make you cry
it is easier to keep
your eyes closed

don't open your eyes
you may see
what is before you
and it may change you
you may see the truth

if you keep them closed
things will remain the same
you can not change
what you do not see
it can not upset you
it can not cause action
so keep them closed

keep your eyes closed
and all is safe
keep them closed and you have an excuse
walk around
keep them closed
for what is before you
may not be what you want to see

shut out the world
ignore all reality
stay in your own world
for it's easier
to just keep your eyes closed
what would happen
if they opened
disaster
fear
trembling
reality
so keep them closed

keep your eyes closed
it's easier this way
it's blissfully naive
not to see
not to experience
keep your eyes closed
and never ask what you aren't seeing
what you are missing
never learn
never grow
just keep them closed
to all that surrounds you
just keep
your eyes
closed
