Open My Eyes

Got me looking for a place of peace
Everyone I trusted takes a piece
Now someone else in place of me (in the place of me)
When love replaces the hate and grief
I heard there's hope and no safety leaves
I guess I'll just have to wait and see (wow)
You were supposed to be a present
A gift given that I get to live with
But you've been a figment with the wind it
Only present when you benefitting
Now I'm losing me to your cynicism
New to me is this truth I'm spinning
But you crossed the line for revenge I'm tempted
You know what you did and I know where you living
And it's hard to trust
Marked us up with the scars on us
Identify with the marks and cuts
Identified now the scars is us
Forgive and forget a mirage of those who ain't been through nothing
But if I forgive and I don't forget, I still gotta live for something
And I'm trying find it

Open my eyes
I wanna know that everything will be alright
Open my eyes
Letting go of darkness I can't lift my heart
To the sunrise
Open up and make me whole
I feel it all the way in my soul
Open my eyes
Open my eyes
Open my eyes

It's amazing ain't it
Tried to destroy you came out tainted
Shattered glass made me art I stained it
From a distance you gone have to hate it
See I'm better now, you exacerbated
I'm resting now, you exasperated
I'ma take what you meant for the evil contain it
Flip and rebuild and come back with this greatness
I been taking flight this right here aviation
And you had a seat but you choose agitation
I choose to forgive and let go aggravation
I'm living in freedom I hope that you chase it
I choose the grace that I'm giving over this hatred
We still got some space here (we do)
I'm looking for you, and I hope you make it (please)
But you can't take my place here
Cause I finally found it

Open my eyes
I wanna know that everything will be alright
Open my eyes
Letting go of darkness I can't lift my heart
To the sunrise
Open up and make me whole
I feel it all the way in my soul
Open my eyes
Open my eyes
Open my eyes

Ah ah ah eyes
Ah ah ah eyes
Ah ah ah eyes
Ah ah ah eyes
