Open Your Eyes
useless thoughts fill my mind 
 but i got ‘em tricked 
 with that shine in my eye 
 i stand tall but with a paper thin spine 
 my voice booms but its weak 
 i got ‘em fooled 
 
 i hide my face with a mask
 i hide my feelings 
 with actin’ like i have none 
 i don’t want ‘em to see that i’m confused 
 i don’t want ‘em to see i’m weak
 i gotta break it 
 i gotta let ‘em know 
 but i can’t 
 cause i’m stuck
 i gotta instigate my way outta this s*** 
 i gotta crawl into the corner where i hide 
 when it goes wrong 
 i gotta f*** it up a little more 
 before i can sleep tonight
 ‘cause i ain’t happy 
 and i’m cool with that 
 ‘cause everybody’s gotta know 
 if i make it to tomorrow 
 how amazin’ 
 that’ll be 
 ‘cause i’m goin’ outta my f***ing mind 
 can’t stop me now 
 open up your god d*** eyes
 see what’s in front of you for once
  i’m fallin’ apart 
 lying to your face 
 sayin’ i’m okay 
 when i’m dyin’ inside
 open your eyes
