{lyrics - improvised}


and i close my eyes
doesn't always disappear
i want to die
but not like this so few, so petty issues, so menial, so superficial
i want something greater

and i close my eyes
and all things just stop like this
and this and like that

closing myself from the world
closing myself from the world
like this, like this, like that and that
all the time
cos i'm not one to be heard again
cos i'm not one to be used you again
like some clean cloth that you use to clean the dirt from your hands
clean all the dirt from your hands, god!

and i want to die
and i want men to die

say they all took away
things are mine to be begin with
to be begin with

took it all away 
nothing really stays the same
except the truth
the eternal truth
like the one i'm into 

and i closed my eyes
and the pain doesn't stop there at all
i closed my eyes

and the things still go on the way they should 
they should, there should be a storm, there should be a peace
there should be tranquillity
no, no, there is isn't any
so we find ourselves from the external selves
and the things that become our extensions 
in the materialistic realm
causal things
the abstract world
brought to this world
we are all
worshippers of idols

and i closed my eyes
and in suicide
and you will know
where she may go
she's not with me
no she's gone
it's all betrayal
it's all betrayal
it's all betrayal of trust

where are you now, jesus
where are you now, buddha
where are you now, muhammad
where are you now, guru?

where are my idols? 
and remains as distinctions

and i wait to find that you're gone 
in the moments of my despair you're not there
where might you be?
how come is it you're always there when i smile but when i frown
all things fall and i
just kneel down to ground
to worship like an idle situation but the context of my enslavement that i am in this world that i do not want to be
i do not want to be

and i close my eyes in suicide
and i close my eyes in suicide
and nothing ends from there
nothing ends from there

and end it all
with a suicide
that gun is warm in my mouth

and i close my eyes
in worshipful times
and on the prefect land
and the perfect farm
and the perfect people
and the perfect things
and they all look so bland
that's so clean

and i close my eyes in suicide
nothing ends
just wake again 
and found you were gone
and found you were far away
like usual, like everything
distant, distant

and i closed my eyes
for the last time
and i closed my eyes
for the last time

and i never opened them like now i should have
