Head Open

Threw my dreams in a wishing well.
And watched them disappear.

If they came back I could never tell.
But I'm still waiting here.

Shared some love, lost some innocence.
I wont get back again.

Ignorance is my defence.
And my demons are my best friends.

Emotions make me do stupid things.
I can't bare it.

I sit and wait for the phone to ring.
I don't answer it.

What's next nobody knows..

So I'll keep my head open...
And keep my heart, closed.

I lost time, I grew up too fast.
But I'm so immature.

In this race I'll finish last.
Chaos I can't endure.

Girls come and go, and friends disappear.
I wonder where they all go.

In this desert I'm standing here.
Watching as the dust blows.

I've spoken words I can't take back.
I'm not speaking anymore.

Red paint to hide the cracks.
But my crimes I'll have to answer for.

My body can't repose.

So I'll keep my head open...
And keep my heart, closed.

I'm locked in, please let me out.
There's things I have to put straight.

Can't anybody hear me shout?
There's things to do that can't wait.

Gentle smiles they suck me in.
I'm always eager for a taste.

But in the end nobody wins.
My love is always such a waste.

Nothing's ever black or white.
Or am I just colour blind.

Days start before it's light.
I have no concept of time.

Nothing's really as it seems.
I can't sleep but I'm in a dream.

I've come to terms with all I feared.
Stood tall as my vision cleared.

I was blind but now I see.
The smoke screen surrounding me.

Glimpse the sun before it goes.

Keep my head open
And keep my heart.... closed.
