• Close your eyes. Now what do you see?
    The blackness of the shadows, of your dreams
    The things you wish, the things that can’t escape
    Your hope, your terror, your love, your pain
    The deaths of those you lost, and the end of those to come
    People loved and hated
    Trying to remember, while desperately trying to forget
    Obsessions beginning and ending
    Decisions made and unmade
    Challenges met and lost
    The flow of life and the world
    Ornate descriptions, impossible to describe
    Ideas blossoming, but never written down
    Lost forever in the shadows
    No one can understand, only you,
    You say
    You have to think
    You say
    But you can’t ever really understand
    Can you?
    The shadows are too strong
    The memories will never fade
    The mistakes will never be broken
    Your problems will never be fixed
    You see the possibilities
    You see the future
    You know true fear
    Why can’t you just close your eyes
    And sleep.

    Because you need to think
    Don’t you?
    You can see the order in chaos
    The truth behind lies
    Cold within fire
    Creation in death
    You can extract the knowledge
    You can build from the pieces
    You can piece apart the whole
    Only you can understand
    Everyday there are challenges
    Each moment there is heartache
    But you can still think
    You can still aspire and create
    You can become more

    No one can really understand you
    Your needs, your dreams
    But they can try
    And you will never forbid them
    People love you
    People care
    Let them in, let them help
    Fanciful dreams will always exist
    You will always chase them
    But from time to time stop
    And let the people who brought you here
    Made you who you are
    Know that they are important
    You love them too
    Let them know

    Now sleep
    When you close your eyes tell me
    Not what you see
    Not what you think
    But who you are
    And who you can be
