Open Your Eyes by Ember Falls Lyrics
I hate it when it gets so complicated and faded
All we created was evacuated
I couldn't save it
If you're listening to this
It means we didn't make it
I fought, I couldn't take it no more
I play a role in this war
There's a traitor hiding in my shadow
Thought I wasn't afraid of failure
But I didn't know
Saw my brothers going down one by one like dominoes
Was that the hardest part, God only knows
These are my battle scars, show me yours
When you close your eyes
Do you see the light
Holding on to a dying dream
Don't believe in destiny
It's just too easy
Will you close your eyes
If the light's too bright
Let go of that dying dream
Snap out of the fantasy
Open your eyes and see
Don't you know that I just love it
When you mix respect with desperation
We're at the very foundation
Of this fucking frustration
It takes a lot of let downs
It takes a lot of let gos
My greatest enemy turned out to be my own ego
So sick of (sick of contradictory)
A victim of a victory
I'm hiding (I'm hiding in the history)
Missing (gone missing in the mystery)
The world's a fucking mess
This is our message
When you close your eyes
Do you see the light
Holding on to a dying dream
Don't believe in destiny
It's just too easy
Will you close your eyes
If the light's too bright
Let go of that dying dream
Snap out of the fantasy
Open your eyes and see
One more fucking time
What do you see when you close your eyes
Can't deny there's a light
Deep inside there's a fire burning bright
Choose your side
I'm on mine, who you are
Is defined by the things
That you're willing to sacrifice
So sick of (sick of contradictory)
Victim (victim of a victory)
I'm hiding (I'm hiding in the history)
Missing (gone missing in the mystery)
These are my battle scars, show me yours
All we created was evacuated
I couldn't save it
If you're listening to this
It means we didn't make it
I fought, I couldn't take it no more
I play a role in this war
There's a traitor hiding in my shadow
Thought I wasn't afraid of failure
But I didn't know
Saw my brothers going down one by one like dominoes
Was that the hardest part, God only knows
These are my battle scars, show me yours
When you close your eyes
Do you see the light
Holding on to a dying dream
Don't believe in destiny
It's just too easy
Will you close your eyes
If the light's too bright
Let go of that dying dream
Snap out of the fantasy
Open your eyes and see
Don't you know that I just love it
When you mix respect with desperation
We're at the very foundation
Of this fucking frustration
It takes a lot of let downs
It takes a lot of let gos
My greatest enemy turned out to be my own ego
So sick of (sick of contradictory)
