Open Your Eyes - Ember Falls, NC Enroe

I hate it when it gets so complicated and faded

All we created was evacuated

I couldn’t save it

If you’re listening to this

It means we didn’t make it

I fought, I couldn’t take it no more

I play a role in this war

There’s a traitor hiding in my shadow

Thought I wasn’t afraid of failure

But I didn’t know

Saw my brothers going down one by one like dominoes

Was that the hardest part, God only knows

These are my battle scars, show me yours

When you close your eyes

Do you see the light

Holding on to a dying dream

Don’t believe in destiny

It’s just too easy

Will you close your eyes

If the light’s too bright

Let go of that dying dream

Snap out of the fantasy

Open your eyes and see

Don’t you know that I just love it

When you mix respect with desperation

We’re at the very foundation

Of this fucking frustration

It takes a lot of let downs

It takes a lot of let gos

My greatest enemy turned out to be my own ego

So sick of (sick of contradictory)

A victim of a victory

I’m hiding (I'm hiding in the history)

Missing (gone missing in the mystery)

The world’s a fucking mess

This is our message

When you close your eyes

Do you see the light

Holding on to a dying dream

Don’t believe in destiny

It’s just too easy

Will you close your eyes

If the light’s too bright

Let go of that dying dream

Snap out of the fantasy

Open your eyes and see

One more fucking time

What do you see when you close your eyes

Can’t deny there’s a light

Deep inside there’s a fire burning bright

Choose your side

I’m on mine, who you are

Is defined by the things

That you’re willing to sacrifice

So sick of (sick of contradictory)

Victim (victim of a victory)

I’m hiding (I'm hiding in the history)

Missing (gone missing in the mystery)

These are my battle scars, show me yours
