too close

too close
you're stabbing too close to the vein
i may not care about the pain
but let me live to love you

i'm losing my humanity
because i know what isn't true
i know that everything's okay
there's no goddamn reason to be blue

i know that i like happy things
but only dark things catch my eyes
i know that no-one's watching me
but all i see are spies

i watch for signs of life
but focus only on its end
my thoughts are stuck in heaven
which my demons seek to rend

can i deny my fall from grace
can i still make it out to space
when everyone's tied to their race
and all the world lands on its face

open up your eyes, you're blind
and raise your thoughts up from your mind
break down your walls and build your castle
for then your day will dawn
