Because They Can – Open Your Eyes lyrics

I can feel us slipping
Into a place I no longer want to be.
I’m sick of gasping
For air I’m trying to breathe.
I can sense the distance,
It’s written right through the sheets.
But I’m tired of holding on to this part of me.

So open your eyes
And tell me is it worth the time to open mine?
Tell me I’m not wasting time.
You’ve made up your mind,
What you’ll find is it’s the same inside,
Open your eyes.

And you say there’s shame where I hang my head
But you can’t name where you place your neck.
The guillotine’s not the only thing
You gotta watch out for me instead.
And I know you’re not listening,
But trust me it was all worthwhile.
Yeah we learnt a few things
But you caught me in denial.

So open your eyes
And tell me is it worth the time to open mine?
Tell me I’m not wasting time.
You’ve made up your mind,
What you’ll find is it’s the same inside,

I’m not waiting for the perfect moment,
But what you’ll find it’s alright, it’s alright.

So open your eyes
And tell me is it worth the time to open mine?
Tell me I’m not wasting time.
You’ve made up your mind,
What you’ll find..

So open your eyes
And tell me is it worth the time to open mine?
Tell me I’m not wasting time.
You’ve made up your mind,
What you’ll find is it’s the same inside.
