Eyes Wide Open

With our eyes wide open we…

With our eyes wide open we…

So this is the end of the story

Everything we had, everything we did

Is buried on dust

And this dust is all that’s left of us

But only a few ever worried

While the signs were clear, they had no idea

You just get used to living in fear

Or give up

When you can’t even picture your future

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open…

Some people offered up answers

We made out like we heard, but they were only words

They didn’t add up

To a change in the way we were living

And the saddest thing

Is all of it could have been avoided

But it was like to stop consuming is to stop being human

And why would I make a change if you won’t?

We’re all in the same boat, staying afloat

For the moment

And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we…

Walk the plank with our eyes wide open

And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we…

Walk the plank with our eyes wide open

With our eyes wide open we…

Walk the plank, we walk the plank

And that was the end of the story
