lyrics

Open your eyes

I’ve watched long enough to see
You can not win this game you’re playing
You’ll think you can then you’ll lose it all
I’ve seen enough try to know
It’s just not worth the risk you’re taking
But you’ll find that on your own
On your own
You’re on your own

You’re going in at the deep end
With pockets full of stones
I’d try to explain just how deep you’re in
But I don’t think you know
You’re playing with fire
And you’re soaked in gasoline
Now you’re going to get burned again
And you don’t even see

You don’t see you do this to yourself
You don’t see you hurt everyone else
You just see the things you want to see
But that view will end eventually

You’re going in at the deep end
With pockets full of stones
I’d try to explain just how deep you’re in
But I don’t think you know
You’re playing with fire
And you’re soaked in gasoline
Now you’re going to get burned again
And you don’t even see
You don’t see the dangers for your greed
You don’t see the splinters for the trees

You don’t see
You don’t see
You don’t see
Open your eyes

You’re going in at the deep end
With pockets full of stones
I’d try to explain just how deep you’re in
But I don’t think you know
You’re going in at the deep end
With pockets full of stones
I’d try to explain just how deep you’re in
But I don’t think you know
You’re playing with fire
And you’re soaked in gasoline
Now you’re going to get burned again
And you don’t even see
You don’t see the dangers for your greed
You don’t see the splinters for the trees

Open your eyes
