When I Close My Eyes (with Namii)

from Queen of Misfits by Vylet Pony

lyrics

When I close my eyes
I hear things.

The sound of a carriage passing
as its wheels wobble against
the cobblestone paths.

I fade softly against the murmurs
of the crowds that encompass me.

Wooden chimes are faintly heard
against a howling wind
unknown to me.

When I close my eyes
I see things.

I see her smiling back at me
Just like I remembered her doing,
Long ago when things were simpler.

I see myself in the mirror
In my dreams, I know it's me
But in the daylight, I can never be sure.

Brilliant blues and pinks cascade
Across a sky that, to be honest
I never look up at.

This is nothing profound.

When I close my eyes
I dream of things
That are only familiar
To the point
Of a feeling
that I know it.

I close my eyes
And dream until
Every petal
Falls off.

When I close my eyes
I try to forget what it's like to keep them open.

When I close my eyes
I try to forget the blame.

When I close my eyes
I try to remember my name.
