Close My Eyes (More Than Breathing)

When you sit here
Feels like your trapped
In this empty shell

Battles you thought you'd won
Seem to well back up again
Sometimes it shakes you
But waking is what you need

Just let me get acclimated.
It's more than I'd anticipated
Cause it wasn't just me that's made it

I can't stay too long
And don't you dare fake it
As if you've really feigned
From that, my heart is pained

And as I look around
I'm surrounded
What I'm lookin for
Still haven't found it

Something's gotta give.
Something's gotta tell
Me it's worth it.

Just let me get acclimated.
It's more than I'd anticipated
Cause it wasn't just me that's made it

I can't stay too long
And don't you dare fake it
As if you've really feigned
From that, my heart is pained

And the battle will subside
Perspective is everything
When everything is out of focus
And I know this

God put me here for more than breathing
He gives me hope
I can't just turn to fear

I shake myself awake
It's simple for me
I see your eyes
All you want it love

I wonder why it's hard to trust that
Despite how far I've come
So I close my eyes
Sight is more than eyes

Just let me get acclimated.
It's more than I'd anticipated
Cause it wasn't just me that's made it

I can't stay too long
But it's long enough

He put me here for more than breathing
He gives me hope
So I close my eyes
Sight seems clear now

I can't stay too long
But it's long enough
