Sewn Shut

Shed no tears, I'll live for years
But it won't be the same
My child's ears won't hear my words
I'm broken while she grows
Adorned by wires and tubes that breathe
I'm tethered to my life
No clouds will see no pearly gates
No flames from hell below

I won't fall from heaven
I won't walk among the gods
I won't feel pain
I won't feel anyone
Let my world be filtered
I don't need to see the Sun
I'll just lie alone
With my eyes sewn shut

Poised in days of disarray
I wonder where I've been
Locked away inside my brain
My thoughts are merely stains
With eyes sewn shut, a blistered tongue
I'm reaching for the end
Still no clouds, no pearly gates
No flames from hell below

I won't fall from heaven
I won't walk among the gods
I won't feel pain
I won't feel anyone
Let my world be filtered
I don't need to see the Sun
I'll just lie alone
With my eyes sewn

Shut and broken down
Blistered, picked apart
Torn from everybody
Torn from all I love

I won't fall from heaven
I won't walk among the gods
I won't feel pain
I won't feel anyone
Let my world be filtered
I don't need to see the Sun
I'll just lie alone
With my eyes sewn shut
