Close your eyes little girl And scream if it makes you feel Anything at all, Cry if it helps. Feel the air in your lungs And hold it for a while, For as long as you can If it makes you feel alive, If it keeps you here with me. Grind your teeth together And squeeze your eyes shut, If it keeps the demons at bay. Block the world out for a moment And let your breathe escape. One long unbroken sigh. Then let it all back in.

Keep the World at Bay
Close your eyes little girl And scream if it makes you feel Anything at all, Cry if it helps. Feel the air in your lungs And hold it for a while, For as long as you can If it makes you feel alive, If it keeps you here with me. Grind your teeth together And squeeze your eyes shut, If it keeps the demons at bay. Block the world out for a moment And let your breathe escape. One long unbroken sigh. Then let it all back in.
