I took my seat and stared
at the cardboard screen while no one cared
while the lights stayed on

the familiar buzz was now long gone
i just waited there
as the music soared into the air

as the lights went down
she said don't open your eyes


at tempo 119
they took to the crowd and aimed towards me
as the circle closed

i held onto the one with splintered clothes
twenty years before
she said don't open your eyes and you can swim

all my friends ignored
she said don't open your eyes


don't open your eyes
and said goodnight
don't open your eyes

and said goodnight

i couldn't end it there

as her wooden bones grew through her skin
crumbled naturally
as her limbs and leaves had broken free

twenty years before
she said don't open your eyes and you can swim
wanted nothing more

she said don't open your eyes

don't open your eyes

and said goodnight
don't open your eyes
and said goodnight
