Closing my eyes so that I can’t see
Life staring aggressively back at me
With eyes shut I try and find
A way to heal this mind of mine
Coz if my problems are out of sight
It could bring a swift end to this fight
And if my problems are out of mind
I could finally get on the road to feeling fine
Going to need time, space and a quiet place
Somewhere where I could never be traced
But it’s now the case now that I'm here
That I was followed by my fear
And from inside he pushes out a tear
And in my ear I hear him cheer
So I shut my eyes and tell him to go
This must’ve been his cue to grow
Coz now when I shut my eyes and I see black space
Out of the darkness I will always see my problems face
