When I Close My Eyes (audio only)

Lyrics By FoldingEnd
(Verse 1)
Morning breaks, I rise alone
Same coffee cup, same quiet phone
The city moves, but I stay still
Pretending I don’t feel the chill
You’re miles away, you’ve got your life
A wedding band, another man's wife
But even after all this time
You still show up in dreams of mine
(Chorus )
When I close my eyes
You're lying there just like before
I reach for you, I want your lore
Your lips, your laugh, your soft replies
Still haunt me in the blackest skies
I fake my peace, but it’s all lies
You own the dark…
When I close my eyes
(Verse 2)
You haunt the spaces in my bed
You're still the voice inside my head
You’re not a ghost, you’re still alive
But not with me — that cuts like knives
And I don’t ask for second tries
But I still drown in sleep’s disguise
Where love is real and time is slow
Where you don’t tell me “I can’t go”
(Chorus )
When I close my eyes
You're lying there just like before
I reach for you, I want your lore
Your lips, your laugh, your soft replies
Still haunt me in the blackest skies
I fake my peace, but it’s all lies
You own the dark…
When I close my eyes
(Bridge )
I don’t chase you in the light
But the dark still owns my fight
You’re not dead — and that’s the curse
'Cause missing you awake is worse
(Final Chorus)
When I close my eyes
You're in my arms, you're in my soul
The only piece that makes me whole
The dream that heaven won’t revise
The wound that healing can't disguise
They think I’m fine — but I wear disguise
'Cause I still bleed when I close my eyes
When I close
When I close
When I close my eyes
(Chorus )
When I close my eyes
You're lying there just like before
I reach for you, I want your lore
Your lips, your laugh, your soft replies
Still haunt me in the blackest skies
I fake my peace, but it’s all lies
You own the dark…
When I close my eyes
