Open Your Eyes

from For All We Know by For All We Know

lyrics

Open your eyes and see what you've been missing
You don't have to hide away
You don't have to play this game no more
Just try to smile and start reminiscing
Thoughts pass by as they decay
Don't reach out, let them escape
There are other ways to slow them down

You've been all I had for years
Locked up here with me
Will you still control my fears
Now I'm back on the streets?

Wake up, you've been disconnected
Leave now before the walls come down

Live, learn, feel whole again
There's nothing more we can say
Get up and run but then again
There's no one to show us the way to where we fell out of place...

Now there's so much more to lose
But I'm better off this way
Still they're scanning every move
while following my trail

Wake up, you have been selected
Stand up before we all fall down

So I lost myself today
You know I've tried to go the other way
It's always the same mistake
that's wearing me out and lets me take the blame
Over and over again, again...
