Closed Eyes - Carcer City

Closed eyes for the last time

And I was sure I was ready for this

I was so ready for this, but I was wrong

Closed eyes for the last time

And I’ve seen the best of you

And I’ve seen the worst of you

Yet when I wake to find blood in your eyes it brings me to my knees

When I wake to find blood in your eyes it brings me to my knees (to my knees)

And I was sure I was ready for this;

I was so ready for this

Frail hands upon white sheets, closed eyes, eternal sleep

All life lost to the bottle (only a matter of time)

But you were dead long before you died

Closed eyes for the last time

You were dead long before you died

As a child your eyes brought me solace;

Now a man I find the mother I knew has faded

The mother I knew has faded

And when she left us it changed us all (this place has lost all colour)

This place has lost all colour

Upon my shoulders I carried you home

And when I wake to find blood in your eyes

I brings me to my knees

This brought me to my knees
