Ten Thousand Voices

If I dare to close my eyes
I might just realize ten thousand voices
In my head screaming at me
One of these days I might confuse those voices with my own
So for the sake of sanity I open my eyes

When the darkness reaches for me
I rise unto my feet
I must fight a little longer
The dawn is drawing near

As the night has turned to day
It seems the terror is contained
At least for now the sun will fight
We're all at war inside this box that we call life
Why won't it open up for me
Why won't it open up for you
Open up for everyone

When the darkness reaches for you
Can you get away from it
There is no answer to that question
Until time has turned away

My words are so damn clustered
I can't help but wonder if I'm making sense at all
Or am I drowning, why am I wet
I close my eyes ten thousand voices screaming at me
You're not dead, get up and finish out the fight

The dark does not waste time, this time
My actions are no longer mine
My will is useless now, completely
I can't open my eyes
I can not open my eyes
