don't you dare close your eyes

my brain shines at night. it is kind of like my brain is singing to me aladdin style, "i can show you the world. shining, shimmering, splendid." and then i am all like, jeez brain my eyes are closed, it is time for bed. but brain continues, "i can open your eyes. take you wonder by wonder." ok brain, time to sleep. the only thing i wonder is why brain is always daydreaming in the day and focusing at night. brain persists, "no one to tell us no, or where to go, or say we're only dreaming." at this point i decide if i can't beat brain, i might as well join em.

me: a whole new world
brain: don't you dare close your eyes
me: a hundred thousand things to see
brain: hold your breath it gets better
me: i'm like a shooting star, i've come so far i can't go back to where i used to be

now brain is getting ready to doze off, so we decide to close off the number.

brain: a whole new world
me: a whole new world
brain: that's where we'll be
me: that's where we'll be
brain: a thrilling chase
me: a wonderous place
both: for you and me

brain and i finally fall asleep, preparing ourselves for a new day.
