Don't close your eyes
'Cause this will all end soon
What you poured your heart into
The grand world that you'd made new
This paper cup
Couldn't capture the deluge
Of the pieces that came unglued
When through your soul the bullet did shoot
Lift up your eyes
From the mud and the dirt here
And see becoming clear
The consummation of your worst fears
Though it's not your choice
You have to see this through
'Cause this will all end soon
What you poured your heart into
The truth of the matter
The twist in the tale
The air you clutched onto
Now you cannot exhale again
It's a miasma consuming
The courage you hold
And even as the world freezes
And the darkness sets in
You look back to the promise
Of what you were believing in
For the last gasp solution
'Cause it has to be worth it
Yes it needs to be worth it
Don't close your eyes and
Block out what shines through
No matter what it does to you
And how much you really should do
'Cause every second counts
When the clocks all wind down
And you fade back into the crowd
You never stood out from anyhow
This paper cup
That you poured your heart into
It's time to tear it in two
'Cause this will all end
Soon
