at eternity's gate Lyrics

When I close my eyes, you're still with me

When I close my eyes

When I close my eyes, I wish to be understood forever

When I close my eyes, I wish to be understood forever

When I close my eyes, I wish to be understood forever

I hope my art will outlast me

I hope this will help feed my family

I hope that my art will have followers

I hope that it's respected by scholars

I won't let detractors demolish my spirit

My brother is fearless

He keep me grounded when my voice is inhibited

When my focus is limited, nobody is getting it

I wish that one day my range would be limitless

I feel it deep in the future

To live as an artist means the present will attempt to dilute you

And your past is the pain you make portraits with

The future is a journey where intention lack ownership

I know it

When I close my eyes, I wish to be understood forever

When I close my eyes, I wish to be understood forever

When I close my eyes, I wish to be understood forever

When I close my eyes, I wish to be understood forever
