Where are you looking when your eyes are closed?
To the future, past or present?
Do you see those you adore, or the ones that you resent?
Are you thinking of what you could've said?
A word, phrase, or explanation
Are you praying to your God?
Desperate to escape from damnation?
Where are you looking when your eyes are closed?
The life you wish was yours?
Days with the mountains, rivers and cold rocky shores
Is it yourself that you see? Or an image of the person you wish you could be?
Where are you looking when your eyes are closed?
