Eyes Open

Everybody's waiting, everybody's watching
Even when you're sleeping, keep your eyes open.

1. 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 to keep score
Keep your eyes open.

[Chorus:]
Everybody's waiting for you to break down
Everybody's watching to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open.

2. So here you are two steps ahead and staying on guard
Every lesson forms a new scar
They never thought you'd make it this far
But turn around, now they've surrounded you
It's a showdown and nobody comes to save you now.

But you got something they dont
Yeah you got something they don't
You just gotta keep your eyes open.

[Bridge:]
Keep your feet ready, heartbeat steady keep your eyes open
Keep your aim locked, the night goes dark keep your eyes open.
