lyrics

09 - DON'T YOU SHUT YOUR EYES

grab onto something
sliding rock
I'm falling down a spiral staircase sideways
I levitate
I'm shifting my shape to rise
I'm falling down
I'm falling down

pay attention
don't you shut your eyes
not yet
not ever
not yet
not ever
my crime is all blown minds

go try, make your move
affront
I've tried to tell you, but i failed
you slip into the death of night
you hear the coyotes calling and you respond
after the machines stop moving the silence is an uproar and you belong

I'm out creeping around ancient grounds
limbs fall dark surrounds
you belong

heard them call my name
and you respond
thought I'd lost my way
and you belong
I need to know. I need to fill this hole
need the reason
all I've lost I've learned
and you belong
all my thoughts are heard
and you belong

I'm falling down
I'm falling down

pay attention
don't you shut your eyes

down a spiral staircase
sideways
I levitate
I'm shifting my shape to rise

my crime is all blown minds
