When I close my eyes all I see are visions of you And when I open my eyes Your absence holds me down I try but I can't shake myself loose I can't command my brain All I do is shrink and think of one thing I'm sitting alone beside me I'm digging a hole inside myself All I want is the place I think I've found When I look into your eyes All I know is that I'm tired of the world around me Please don't ignore me Dedicated, here I am thinking of you With everything within me You'll never see me, never feel me Never know these thoughts of mine In my mind you're always there, always smiling Always reaching out to me The days go on with heartache, The days go on with emptiness All I want is to somehow matter to you Even if all else rejects me All I know is that I'm hammered by the world Around me Please don't destroy me
