With Open Eyes
As I lay my hope aside My soul is torn and tired As the truth flows through me With the realization that the world is on fire A perpetual indication
Of how oblivious I am To the harsh cold world That lies just beyond the skin Living through your lie Was so peaceful I cannot fight (The white noise is to loud to ignore) Now that I push hope aside I’m walking through this life with open eyes
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 through the madness with open eyes
The travesties of our time Is to great to deny (I know were not alone) Lively hoods are being sold To line there pockets with silver and gold Living through your lie Was so peaceful I cannot fight (The white noise is to loud to ignore) Now that I push hope aside I’m walking through this life with open eyes Now that I push hope aside Walking through this life with open eyes
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 through the madness with open eyes
I didn’t come to give you answers I’m just as lost as you My hate grows everyday As I accept the truth They’ll feed you ignorance is bliss Only to hide the fact that you’ll miss That your soul is used and tired With the realization that the world The world the world the world is on fucking fire
As I lay my head down So do the lies I push through the madness with open eyes Now that I push hope aside I’m walking through this life with open eyes
