Weight on My Eyes - Jake Morley

I won’t let this evening die

Hold it closer

No veil gonna shroud my eyes

Not even nearly

The darkness fears me

'Cause I won’t yet let go

Won’t consign this to history

The weight on my eyes

I won’t let this night forget

Stay within me

I won’t sign my name just yet

Won’t give back this day to the place it came from

Tonight I ruminate until

The weight on my eyes comes

Just one flash

Control is a desperate dream

Of chasing shadows

For now, balance flows through me

But blink and it’s gone

Lost to the dawn where the sunshine hits like thunder

Don’t surrender to slumber

The weight on my eyes

Simple measures, precious pleasures

I’m king of the day tonight

And seeing it clearly

But I’m the fool of tomorrow’s light

To come all this way

And just throw it away

Oh I can’t let go

Just one flash

And the whole world’s turned

Turned

Morning’s guns are trained on me

Not my problem

'Cause tired though my bones may be

All that I know is

I ain’t gonna go down without a fight

I’ll be railing through the night

Until the weight on my eyes

The weight on my eyes

The weight on my eyes takes me home
