I'm a fortunate son of a fortunate son
Livin' large on the wrong side of town
Too many friends and the fun never ends
Drinkin' and hangin' around

I wanna rule the world, wanna swallow it whole
At least I could kick it all down
I wanna kick it all down

Eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
My eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be

I don't take the bus and I never walk too far
The furthest I got was my own backyard
A fist full of cash that somebody else earned
Send me some more when it all got burned

I wanna take control, wanna make it all mine
At least I could kick it all down
I wanna' kick it all down

Eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
My eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be

Never ever ever
Never ever ever
Never ever ever
Never ever ever

I get what I want if I make up my mind
I'm turnin' you inside out
I wanna rule the world, wanna swallow it whole
I think I'll just kick it all down
I wanna kick it all down

Eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
My eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
Eyes wide open
[fade out]

It's like taking your medicine
Admitting the relevance
Of every experience
You're thanking the elements
In all their appearances
Ins't life just the clearest when
You face interferences with an aim for fearlessness

With eyes wide open it can be so hard to live in this world today
But if you close them you just might miss out
And life will pass you by

You know that
Things will never change
And your life will
Always stay the same

Eyes open
Eyes shut

I need some memory loss
Tell me what's that gonna cost?
If it has to do with attitude I'll pack up and get lost
I'm having second thoughts on going trough with this
I should say screw this shit close my eyes and get used to it

Unchanged
Don't waste your life away

Blankness with an over anxiousness
To erase this you must be courageous
Just to face what gives you knots in your stomach
And once you've done it
You're gonna love it
Getting up there and being above it

Crazy planet no alignment
Rise above
Hit the jet stream
Rocky road got my assignment
Rise above ride my dreams

One on one take a little bite
What I got you never had
One on one no use to fight
Love's my thing so good it's bad

Love's my thing so good it's bad
So good it's bad so good it's bad

Let's go down to our secret place
So good it's bad so good it's bad

Let's go down to our secret place
You got my eyes wide open

Unexpected undetected
You got my eyes wide open
Hiding from those prying eyes
You got my eyes wide open
Below the radar in plain sight
You got my eyes wide open
Secret passage to your place tonight
You got my eyes wide open

I don't wanna clash
I don't want to rehash the past
I just want release
I just want some peace

Let's go down to our secret place
You got my eyes wide open

I don't wanna clash
I don't want to rehash the past

One on one don't you fight
Pull it together ride it right

Love so good so good it's bad
What I got you never had
Get it together get it right
Get it together take a bite
Can you feel it unexpected
Can you feel it undetected
Livin' on the periphery

Can you feel it unexpected
Can you feel it undetected
Livin' on the periphery

Can you feel it words are bombs
Can you feel it words are missiles
Livin' on the periphery

Can you feel it undetected
Can you feel it so unexpected
Living on the periphery

I don't wanna clash
I don't want to rehash the past
I just want release
I just want some peace

Let's go down to our secret place
You got my eyes wide open

I don't wanna clash
I don't want to rehash the past

You got my eyes wide open

Here it comes, here comes another day
Another decision on the way
Well here it comes, here comes a covered display
of preferences to make
Well here it comes, here comes a knock on the door
Open it for an opportunity
Well here it comes, here comes another day
for memories to be made

Eyes wide open
Eyes wide open all the time

'n there it was, it was a perfect take
and were you asleep or awake
There it was, it was a perfect time
to speak your mind
'n there it was, it was a chance of a lifetime
It flew right by and what did you do?
Well there it was, it was another day
for memories to be made

Eyes wide open
Eyes wide open all the time
I've got my eyes wide open
Eyes wide open all the time
Because you never know
what you might see...

Eyes Wide Open

With our eyes wide open we... (x2)

So this is the end of the story
Everything we had everything we did
Is buried in dust
And this dust is all that's left of us
And only a few ever worried

While the signs were clear
They had no idea
You just get used to living in fear
Or give up
When you can't even picture your future

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we)
Yeah we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we)

Some people offered up answers
We made out like we heard
They were only words
They didn't add up
To a change in the way we were living
And the saddest thing
Is all of it could have been avoided

But it was like to stop consuming's to stop being human
And why'd I make a change if you won't?
We're all in the same boat
Staying afloat for the moment

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open
(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we)
And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we)

With our eyes wide open we
We walk the plank we walk the plank

So that is the end of the story

The hating and the waiting, hesitating
I just want to be done with you faking
For the taking but I’m wicked
Up to the fact that you’re lying, and denying
Justifying all the actions you take
It’s pathetic and poetic

It’s just sick!
It’s just sick!

Is compromise something you don’t understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open.
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan.
Don’t force my hand when my eyes are wide open.

Seeing is believing, now I’m leaving
All the damage is done
And you’ve broken the notion of trust
Cause you’re lying and denying
Justifying all the actions you take
It’s pathetic and poetic

It’s just sick!
It’s just sick!

Is compromise something you don’t understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open.
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan.
Don’t force my hand when my eyes are wide open.

Seeing is believing, now I’m leaving
All the damage is done

All the damage is done!
All the damage is done!

Is compromise something you don’t understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open.
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan.
Don’t force my hand when my eyes are wide open.

Don’t force my hand when my eyes are wide open.
Don’t force my hand when my eyes are wide open.

Force my hand
When my eyes are wide open.

Lying and denying is just sick!
Lying and denying is just sick!

It’s just sick!

Talk to me cause I've been talking to myself

Help me get these thoughts out of my own head

I don't believe, most days I don't believe

Mercy is true, it's hard to live with the things I do

So God bruise the heels we've dug in the ground

That we might move closer to love

Pull out the roots we've dug in so deep

Finish what You've started

Help us to believe

Keep our eyes wide open

(Love is kind and love is daring everything we need to keep our eyes)

Keep our eyes wide open

(Love is kind and love is daring everything we need to keep our eyes)

We can't go on, seems this conversation's done

It's so hard to win these fights and love You at the same time

So take my hand till grace makes a way to bend

Till the things I said to ruin only lead to my own end

So God bruise the heels we've dug in the ground

That we might move closer to love

Pull out the roots we've dug in so deep

Finish what You've started

Help us to believe

Keep our eyes wide open

(Love is kind and love is daring everything we need to keep our eyes)

Keep our eyes wide open

(Love is kind and love is daring everything we need to keep our eyes)

Keep our eyes wide open

(Love is kind and love is daring everything we need to keep our eyes)

Keep our eyes wide open

Draw us in, send us out

Draw us in, send us out

Draw us in, pull us out

Help us to believe

Keep our eyes wide open

(Love is kind and love is daring everything we need to keep our eyes)

Keep our eyes wide open

(Love is kind and love is daring everything we need to keep our eyes)

Keep our eyes wide open

(Love is kind and love is daring everything we need to keep our eyes)

Keep our eyes wide open

Help us to believe

All these visions in my head
Should've gone to bed before the watershed
Some are live and some are dead
Makes no difference when they're in your head (head)

Keep the door open a crack
So I can see them when they attack
Some are white and some are black
Makes no difference when they're on your back

And I can't stop crying
And I can't stop driving
'Cause the day is dying...dying...dying
With my eyes wide open

Kept the sheep jumping the fence
So I can see deepest when I'm feeling tense
Disbelief hung in suspense
I die down with my own defense

And I can't stop crying
And I can't stop driving
'Cause the day is dying...dying...dying
With my eyes wide open

All these visions in my head
Should've gone to bed before the watershed
Some are live and some are dead
Makes no difference when they're in your head (head)

And I can't stop crying
And I can't stop driving
'Cause the day is dying...dying...dying
With my eyes wide open

I'm a fortunate son of a fortunate son
Living large on the wrong side of town
Too many friends and the fun never ends
Drinkin' and hangin' around
I wanna rule the world, wanna swallow it whole
At least I could kick it all down
I wanna kick it all down

Eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
My eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be

I don't take the bus and I never walk too far
The furthest I got was my own backyard
With a fist full of cash that somebody else earned
Send me some more when it all got burned

I wanna take control, wanna make it all mine
At least I could kick it all down
I wanna' kick it all down

Chorus

You never ever know
You never ever know
You never ever know
You never ever know

I'll get what I want if I make up my mind
I'm turnin' you inside out

I wanna rule the world, wanna swallow it whole
I think I'll just kick it all down.
I wanna kick it all down.

Chours

Eyes wide open (repeat and fade)

eyes wide open all the time
just like a drug store in the city
where she walks the streets at night
time keeps ticking like the ocean through a siv
ever on ever forward in a march

hallelujah
and she's one for the money
to for the show time to go
back to life back to dreams
without tears
she's saving what she killed
she built herself a room
to spin around her womb

she's saying good bye bye
to the world now
she's saying good bye bye bye
to the world now

life is heavy of
mistakes have come to call her
always close and dear never far behind
floating just above the surface
of their waves their nightmares wait
but come again when she wakes

hallelujah
and she's one for the money
to for the show time to go
back to life back to dreams
without fears
she's saving what she killed
she built herself a room
to spin around her womb

she's saying good bye bye bye
to the world now
she's saying good bye bye bye
to the world now
she's saying good bye bye
to the world now
she's saying good bye bye bye
to the world now
she's saying good bye bye
to the world now
she's saying good bye bye bye
to the world now

eyes wide open all the time
just like a drug store in the city
where she walks the streets at night

eyes wide open
to the great train robbery of my soul
impending blindness
of the kind that’s beyond my control

eyes wide open
to the secret forest beyond those tear-filled trees
heart-rending blindness
won’t testify that i’m on my knees

maybe i’m a little young to care
maybe i’m a little old to cry
i don’t know
maybe i’m a little weak to dance
maybe i’m a little strong to die
i don’t know

concentrating
love and i’m hating myself again
impersonating
the smallest shadow of my original self again

does anybody really want to grasp
my hand and lift me to my feet? does
anybody really want to be the breeze
that frightens off this heat?

I could hear her breathing
No one believed me
No one believed me
I could hear those voices
So decieving
So decieving

Cool wind on my face
Cool wind on my face

Do you know how it feels to be afraid
Lying there frozen
With my eyes wide open
Do you know how it feels to find a trace
Of words unspoken
With my eyes wide open
I know your secret

I can feel you calling
I know that you're there I know that you're there
Tell me all your memories
I'll keep them alive I'll keep them alive

Cool wind on my face
Cool wind on my face

Do you know how it feels to be afraid
Lying there frozen
With my eyes wide open
Do you know how it feels to find a trace
Of words unspoken
With my eyes wide open
I know your secret

I heard you
I felt you
I know so what do you want from me

Cool wind on my face
Cool wind on my face
Cool wind on my face
Cool wind on my face

Do you know how it feels to be afraid
Lying there frozen
With my eyes wide open
Do you know how it feels to find a trace
Of words unspoken
With my eyes wide open
I know your secret

Jump boy Johnny got his head out of wack
Those darn parasites put him right on the wrong track
He's beginning to crack
Momma said Johnny boy's as clean as a pin
The more she digs the more trouble he's in
Under his skin
[Chorus:]
You got to keep your eyes wide open
So you don't get used again
You got to keep your eyes wide open
That's the only way to win
No matter what they say
No matter what they do
Don't you take it on the chin
You got to keep your eyes wide open
so you don't get used, don't get used again.
Fab Five Freddy, he's so tough
He's hiding in the closet with all that feminine stuff
Is he tough enough?
Freddie come Freddie go, lowers the veil
Walks like a man to cover up his trail
such a bitch, that feminine itch.
[Chorus]
So you're in trouble again
Did it since you don't know when
Everything seemed so much worse before.
Saying that you lost the plat
You ain't happy with the things you got
All you every wanted was a little bit more.
Little girl Suzie want's to buy an Uzi
Show the little boys just how choosy she is
Just call her miss.
Suzie wanna play gonna blow them all away
Had enough of everyone hear the little trigger go click
Just for the kicks.
[Chorus]
[repeat verse 5 & 6]
