I Opened Up My Eyes
I was just a young kid with so many questions
When I felt alone, when I felt depression
I couldn't see demons but I could feel their presence
I tried to beat them and they left me a message
Said you won't be enough, your life isn't precious
You are one of us, I'll show you that you're reckless
I had a knife on me, but I felt defenseless
Hands around my neck, just like a necklace
Now I'm dying slowly, the world calls it a lesson
But if I put them first, I'll always come in second
They want me to burn, but that's not where I'm destined
I break down and cry, God please show me heaven
I can't do this on my own, look at my life wretched
I need you more than ever, my life is depending
This world left me open ended, and now I wanna end it
Take away my pain and help me fight my stresses
I opened up my eyes, the devil is still around
But God is deep inside, I can rise above the ground
God is in the skies, higher than the abound
I guess I couldn't see Him with my head facing down
I opened up my eyes, the devil is still around
But God is deep inside, I can rise above the ground
God is in the skies, higher than the abound
I guess I couldn't see Him with my head facing down
God never left me but I left Him so many times
Music reflects on me but I never put Him in rhymes
I felt like I was useless I felt I was dying
I just finished praying and now I'm on my knees crying
I'm erasing my tears and wiping my eyes
I'm gonna face my demons before I run out of time
So I grab a tight grip on my knife I'm ready to fight
If I lose this battle then I'm losing my life
Now it's all on the line, this is life or death
So I get ready to put the knife in chest
But what if I am too weak for righteousness?
What if it'll make issues that I can't siphon with?
Then it hit me I opened up my eyes again
I'm not alone I can feel the Christ within
I can beat the swings that the Devil tries to give
So I put the knife deep inside of my demons
I don't feel better, but I feel saved
I knew that I was stronger, I knew that I was brave
Had my head down, looking at my grave
But now my heads up, and I can feel His grace
You died so I can live, I'll give you all my days
I'll always try my best, I'll always show you praise
I know I sin against you, I keep making mistakes
But you're love is stronger, so God light up the way
I opened up my eyes, the devil is still around
But God is deep inside, I can rise above the ground
God is in the skies, higher than the abound
I guess I couldn't see Him with my head facing down
I opened up my eyes, the devil is still around
But God is deep inside, I can rise above the ground
God is in the skies, higher than the abound
I guess I couldn't see Him with my head facing down
They want me to go sin but I don't wanna go soon
I'm filled with deep oceans, going through these motions
I could find a boat and travel to the coast end
But my life was spoken, so I wrote this poem
I kept my eyes wide open but now they're slowly closing
All this pain I hide, I guess I couldn't show them
I want a different life, not the one they've chosen
I can fix a smile, but my heart feels broken
They want me to go sin but I don't wanna go soon
I'm filled with deep oceans, going through these motions
I could find a boat and travel to the coast end
But my life was spoken, so I wrote this poem
I kept my eyes wide open but now they're slowly closing
All this pain I hide, I guess I couldn't show them
I want a different life, not the one they've chosen
I can fix a smile, but my heart feels broken
I opened up my eyes, the devil is still around
But God is deep inside, I can rise above the ground
God is in the skies, higher than the abound
I guess I couldn't see Him with my head facing down
I opened up my eyes, the devil is still around
But God is deep inside, I can rise above the ground
God is in the skies, higher than the abound
I guess I couldn't see Him with my head facing down
