Close My Eyes

I'm tired of waiting for a better day
 But I'm scared, I'm lazy and nothing's gonna change
 The blood's still fresh on the ground
 But I'm far and I'm safe and I will not make a sound
 Confession to a lesser crime
 But I'll never do the time
 'Cause I was studying what to say
 Something is calling in the night
 But I'm keeping still beside the light
 I know you're gonna come around and stand by me
 But I'm tired of standing while the world's dissolving
 Close my eyes, close my eyes, close my eyes
 And it's almost alright
 If you can understand then come in close and hold me tighter
 In my mind, in my mind, in my mind
 I want to choose the right
 But you know it's hard enough to breathe
 The photograph is always new
 But I seen that same headline
 And I got to dance to keep from crying
 My head is tired, my eyes are weak
 My heart is saying that I can't speak
 I know you're gonna come around and stand by me
 But I'm tired of standing while the world's desolving
 Close my eyes, close my eyes, close my eyes
 And it's almost alright
 If you can understand then come in close and hold me tighter
 In my mind, in my mind, in my mind
 I want to choose the right
 But you know it's hard enough to breathe
