Awakening to a darkness too bright to look at
Exposing myself to nightmares and terrors of the past
A past full of fears so intense they haunt the future
Opening my eyes to feelings so deep they can't feel themselves
Taking in a lifetime of pain all in a split second
Overworking the heart and ripping the soul
Opening my eyes to things you couldn't know
A river of tears hotter than the fires of hell
Slipping through my lips, my tongue tasting the sweetness of bitter hateful sin
Opening my eyes to a past so messed up it can't imagine itself
They say "open your eyes, Laura"
But I'm afraid, I've neglected myself
I'd rather keep them closed
