I don't want to close my eyes tonight, Afraid that what it'll bring - will be a fright. To be able to control memories well, Where I can see that we never really fell. The key to reaching oblivious thought, An impossibility -- for the lock is naught. There's no paint thick enough to coat life, There is no truth within our own lies. I wish the truth were phrased poetically. But if it were so pleasant to the ear, it would be functioning impractically, For reality was always meant to bring a tear. I don't want to close my eyes tonight, My mind will distort memories illogically, I'll be alone with us when emotions were alright, Before I forbid our poem appeared symmetrically...
