Don't Close Your Eyes
These waters run deep
But these bones are dry
Oh, how do you sleep
When the monsters are outside
They howl and they cry
Oh, child, don't close your eyes
Don't you dare close your eyes
This is how we survive
These roots are well grounded
But the winds collide
The storm hounds surround and
There's nowhere to hide
They howl and they cry
Oh, child, don't close your eyes
Don't you dare close your eyes
This is how we survive
Remember when the war was just a game
Long before you learned to be ashamed
You were happy, you were free, and you were blind
Wake up daughter, raise your gun
Born for peace, but taught to run
These shadows aren't just figments of your mind
They howl and they cry
Oh, child, don't close your eyes
Don't you dare close your eyes
This is how we survive
They howl and they cry
Oh, child, don't close your eyes
Don't you dare close your eyes
This is how we survive
This is how we survive
But these bones are dry
Oh, how do you sleep
When the monsters are outside
They howl and they cry
Oh, child, don't close your eyes
Don't you dare close your eyes
This is how we survive
These roots are well grounded
But the winds collide
The storm hounds surround and
There's nowhere to hide
They howl and they cry
Oh, child, don't close your eyes
Don't you dare close your eyes
This is how we survive
Remember when the war was just a game
Long before you learned to be ashamed
You were happy, you were free, and you were blind
Wake up daughter, raise your gun
Born for peace, but taught to run
These shadows aren't just figments of your mind
They howl and they cry
Oh, child, don't close your eyes
Don't you dare close your eyes
This is how we survive
They howl and they cry
Oh, child, don't close your eyes
Don't you dare close your eyes
This is how we survive
This is how we survive
