Don't Open Your Eyes<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Please don't open your eyes my love,
For you will see the monster I have become.
Please don't open your eyes my love,
My ugliness will make you blind.

I'm afraid to lose you, so please don't look,
Listen to me, you won't want to see. Trust me for once.
Ignore the need to see me

If you look once, you won't want to see me ever again.

So please don't open your eyes, my love.
I love you so. That's all you must know.
You don't need to know what life's done to me
The havoc that I've lived through.

Don't listen to my words, my dear.
I've changed so much.
Don't listen to my words, my dear.
The sound of my voice will make you deaf.

I fear your hate, so please don't listen,
Instead feel what I have to offer,
A love you will not find anywhere else.
If you listen to my voice, you won't want to call me ever again...

So please don't listen to me, my dear.
I love you so. That's all you must know.
You don't need to hear, the rough and ragged sound of my voice,
The images I know, the screams I've heard.

Don't extend your arms, my darling...
You will feel, the unpleasant texture of my skin
Don't extend your arms, my darling.
The feeling will send a chill into your soul.

I'm scared of your insults,
So don't pay attention to me, for you will grieve and cry,
Scream at the beast this life has made me
I know you will, I know you are sensitive...

Don't open your eyes, my love...
Don't listen to my words, my dear...
Don't extend your arms, my darling...

You will find something,
I know you never wanted to find...
