Shut My Eyes
Shut My Eyes By Leon When I close my eyes Shut out the pain outside My soul turns inwards And I feel the shame inside I’m trying to be perfect Trying to be right But I know that deep down For my soul I will have to fight These demons are coming for me I am not ready I’ll have to be strong Be determined, be steady In a battle I can’t win When the enemy is myself My demons of sin I know I’ll need help But who do I turn to? Who can I trust? Bound by chains of shame Which cannot rust I have tried everything Nothing has worked Do I give up? Let go of the stress, the hurt? Do I lose myself to sin? Lose hope Let the darkness win? Or do I rise and fight Struggle and battle For what I know is right Either way is bad But I know the path I’ll take A better world For myself I’ll make I’ll try my best I’ll win this war I’ll pass the test This is the final straw Although my life has just begun It is dark and cold But there will be a rising sun Shine rays of hope Onto my cold world To be reborn Allow my wings to unfurl And soar above the pain Nothing to lose Everything to gain. I have made my choice There is no going back. |
