Eyes wide open and I see blurred imaginations of what my life is suppose to be.
Eyes wide open and I see fuzzy figures directing and navigating me through my course.
Eyes wide open and I see nothing that keeps my fire alive in the shadowed depths in my soul.
Eyes wide open and I am blind.

Shut.
Shut them.
I hear my mind say...shut them.

Eyes closed and I see all things shrouded in glorious hues and lights.
Eyes closed and I see unimaginable heights that I know I could reach.
Eyes closed and I see what my fire burns for and I know why it burns.
Eyes closed and I see you.

I can't hear a sound in this cold and unwanted destiny.
I don't hear anything on this predestined path I am on.
I can't hear the ground I walk on nor the presence of my surroundings.
This road is silent and I am cold because of my deaf ears.

Listen.
Listen and hear.
I do hear my mind say...listen.

Shut out the world and I hear beauty.
Shut out the odd static and I hear a heavenly being speaking.
Shut out the unbearable noise and I hear calm and seductive sweetness.
Shut out all else and I hear you.

You are my color and light.
You are my highest desire.
You are my heated fire.
You are my beauty.
You are my heavenly host.
You are my sweetest peace.

You are absent from me.
So my eyes are shut.
My ears are closed.
So I may be with only you.
