With Open Eyes

Last one for the night I think, a glimpse into Sophomore year.

Things don't change when you close your eyes;
these crazy things don't end.
Time doesn't pass you by;
you can't just play pretend.

Even if you think
it'll be okay,
"If I close my eyes,
it'll go away."

Your problems stay right there;
they're more patient than you thought.
No need to stop and stare,
it'll take everything you've got.

To keep those big eyes peeled
through the darkness of the night.
Your heart will soon be healed;
everything will be all right.
(2005)
