I walk this world with closed eyes
Shielding myself from the horrors of the world
Masking the terrors of death and war
Keeping all that makes the world go round away
What I see damages me
Leaves me wanting more
For my closed eyes are eyes that keep the truth
My love has become tainted with worry and hope

Fearing the day everything will end
Overcome by a bitter sweet acceptance
It sends a mind numbing chill of which non could fend
Paralyzed, I may now fear no more
There is a horrible truth
In why people enjoy the pain
A bloodlust for sorrow
These shielded eyes should know
