Eyes Wired Shut

-----------_________---------------------

Why did this ever have to be so cold
Imagine finding out you’d lose control
You see I’m breaking down and now I crumble
You can’t help by sitting there watching me stumble
And now I fight against the grain

I’m running out of time
I’m breaking up inside
And I think I cant survive
Reflect on yesterday
These memories won’t fade
But this still won’t go away

Your life...
Retreats...
Your losing out...
On every..

Your Life.. Retreats..You’re missing out
On peace of mind now..
Just don’t close your eyes
There’s nothing left of me to go
Don’t you realize
That it’s taking me away

It’s like breaking apart at the seams
And I wish it were all a dream
But this still won’t go away

We can’t... See through
This curtain that blinds us all
If we... realize
What’s behind closed doors

Break me free from all these restraints
These shackles come undone
Set me free from all of this pain
Before I come undone

Your better off just to pretend
Well I can’t stand by and watch you
As you waste away

I can’t stand watching now as you fall to pieces this time
Above the insanity that seems to cloud your mind

It’s the last try
You’ve given up and it’s taken it all away
It’s the last time
You said this time you could turn and walk away

But you don’t care and you don’t think
Is this how it has to be
Is that why you cannot see
And I offer you my hand
To guide you once again

For the first time I’ve opened my
My eyes wide
Blindly I swear that I
Have past through this
A thousand times before

Could you bleed me dry of those tears
Could you make up for all the lost in years
This frustration keeps me clear
But still we don’t see the light of the day

So far from this bleak existence
We will find ourselves again
Do you think were losing out
Long before ever grabbing hold of that dream
Got my eyes wired shut

Not bad, but loses points for being generic.

...such universal pathos...I've been there, parts of me still are, I'm sure...

...you might want to research "attachment theory..." it all happens before the brain is developed sufficiently to record the data...
