Eyes Open

Everybody's waitin'
Everybody's watchin'
Even when you're sleeping
Keep your eyes open



The tricky thing
Is yesterday we were just children
Playing soldiers
Just pretending
Dreaming dreams with happy endings



In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords
But now we've stepped into a cruel world
Where everybody stands and keeps score


Keep your eyes open


Everybody's waitin' for you to break down
Everybody's watchin' to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open



So here you are, two steps ahead and stayin' on guard
Every lesson forms a new scar
They never thought you'd make it this far
But turn around (turn around), oh they've surrounded you


It's a showdown (showdown) and nobody comes to save you now
But you've got something they don't
Yeah, you've got something they don't
You've just gotta keep your eyes open



Everybody's waitin' for you to break down
Everybody's watchin' to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes



Keep your feet ready
Heartbeat steady
Keep your eyes open


Keep your aim locked
The night goes dark
Keep your eyes open



Everybody's waitin' for you to break down
Everybody's watchin' to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eyes open



Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
(Keep your eyes open)
Keep your eyes open
