Open Eyes

As I lay my head down
The truth flows through
My veins are tired
With the realization that the worlds on fire

A perpetual indication
Of how oblivious I am
To the harsh cold world
That lies just beyond the skin

(Chorus)
I really never wanted this
Really never needed this
Why must you force this down my throat
How did I always feel so numb
How did I always ignore the gun
That’s force fed down my throat
Now that I have heard the cries
Now that I have seen the lies
I push forward through the madness with open eyes

Living through your lie
Was so peaceful I cannot fight
Now that I have opened eyes
The white noise is to loud to ignore

The travesties of our time
Is to great to deny
Lively hoods are being sold
Like stock and gold

A perpetual indication
Of how oblivious I am
To the harsh cold world
That lies just beyond the skin

(Chorus)
I really never wanted this
Really never needed this
Why must you force this down my throat
How did I always feel so numb
How did I always ignore the gun
That’s force fed down my throat
Now that I have heard the cries
Now that I have seen the lies
I push forward through the madness with open eyes

I don’t presume to understand
How to fix this
I accept the fact that my ignorance
Allowed this

I didn’t come to give you answers
I’m as lost as you
My hate grows everyday
As I accept the truth

As I lay my head down
The truth flows through
My veins are tired
With the realization that the worlds on fire

(Chorus)
I really never wanted this
Really never needed this
Why must you force this down my throat
How did I always feel so numb
How did I always ignore the gun
That’s force fed down my throat
Now that I have heard the cries
Now that I have seen the lies
I push forward through the madness with open eyes

As I lay my head down
So do the lies
I push forward through the madness
With open eyes
