Open Your Eyes

The passage of time is only
A tear for the lonely
Be still for a moment
Try not to open your eyes

There's plenty of air to breathe in
Take care you ain't stealing
It's easy to do with your hands on my throat
Or laughing out loud when it isn't a joke at all

You sold them lies but they found out
I knew you'd ground out
Could have taken a pitch
Wait for a sign
Seen if somebody could throw you a strike
You swung away at something down low
Now we're all trying to beat out the throw in time

Burned out the bank and dried out the tank
Spilt all the wine and you put all we had on the line
There ain't nothing new in the things that you're doing
Trip on my heels
I'll make sure you know how it feels
Sure you know how it feels

Passage of time has told me
The fires of the holy
Burn through the night up in the sky
Shadows will fade into the light
Maybe it's time to wake up and open your eyes
Open your eyes
