Calm now, so you don’t see it on the surface,
How I’ve been dreaming about purpose ‘cause I can’t find mine.
Darkness lives in my blood now.
It says it wants to crawl out,
But I don’t want to do down like this.
But patience started feeling like complacency,
Then started feeling like my destiny.
My head doesn’t like me.
My brain always fights me.
My body is still a jar.
I’m my worst enemy.
My reflection’s dead to me-
Can’t stomach seeing what I’ve become.
So I won’t.
I’ll keep my eyes closed.
I’m on the edge but everyone’s counting on me.
I’m making ground but it’s shaking under my feet.
I’m standing in the foreground wishing there was nothing to see.
What do I have to do to get me back to me?
Just don’t keep your eyes closed.
You can’t keep your eyes closed
I’m gone now,
But I’m just coasting on the come down.
See, I’ve been practicing our loud saying “I don’t want to live like this”.
I’ve been waiting to outlive my expectations,
But when I think back I know that I already did.
I won’t be my downfall.
I’ll show up for the call,
Make good on the promise that I’ll stay.
I will accept my limits,
And pull back when I hit them-
But when I break…
I’ll keep my eyes closed.
I’m on the edge but everyone’s counting on me.
I’m making ground but it’s shaking under my feet.
I’m standing in the foreground wishing there was nothing to see.
What do I have to do to get me back to me?
Just don’t keep your eyes closed.
Listen, you can’t keep your eyes closed.
I’ll come back.
What’s missing?
You’re missing it.
Come back.
What’s missing?
You’re missing it.
I started really following Taylor with this album and for years I kind of drifted off from it. But now I have a new-found love for Red because of this. kjaprencillo
