Keep your eyes open,
This is your warning.
Close them, and lose yourself.

You're surrounded by monsters,
Lurking in the shadows,
Watching and waiting.
Though I know your body's weary,
And all you want is to give in,
I'm telling you,
Keep your eyes open.

They're sitting there,
Just waiting for you to fail.
Waiting for you to fall.
If you slow,
If you sleep,
They'll catch you.
Keep your eyes open.

Run,
Hide,
Don't close your eyes.
