Eyes Closed

Words: Ian
Music: Ian & Belladonna

Notes: Ian brought the basic idea for this song, essentially the verse and chorus as well as the ending and an idea of the intro. These developed during practices as I introduced my own lead parts and Nate and Dan refined their own parts. Ian, Nate, & Dan came up with the bridge while jamming. A different version of this song appeared on our first demo; the drum solo and half-time section at the end are new to this recording and developed from our live show and accidents during practice.

Hooray for the daze of
Unexamined habit
Lightning without a storm
I'll walk the steps
I'll draw the lines
Leaving only a pulse

Say hello
To a pure and sweet
Defiance of the way
The persona of another underneath
With my face down and my hands high
Eyes closed

It lingers there across the way
But I don't think about it
A new wind blows across my face
I saw the door, I opened up
And I don't wonder

Wisdom is what I seek
But I am my own Judas I
May never see
