Living Under Eyelids (Sleeping Awake)
Folder:
Here Comes Hope Wake up
The world is open and is ours to see
Open your eyes
All that’s left is destruction and debris
How did this happen
Somehow escaping our eagle eyed sight
We think we know it all
Claiming to see the sun in the middle of the night
Hold my hand
We’ll somehow find safety and shelter among this tragedy
Close your eyes
And forever flee from this wicked reality
…The awful aftermath of another American mistake
Dreaming with our eyes open wide and forever sleeping awake…
Wake up…no wait…now go back to sleep
The secrets they will always keep
The truth they will always hide
Living this roller coaster ride
Wake up…no wait…you’re not asleep
Beware of the big black sheep
No one will hear your silent scream
Open your eyes and destroy your dream
Wake up
We’ve been living a lie now for way too long
Open your eyes
Trying to discover what went so wrong
How could this happen
Somehow escaping our visible range of sight
We think we know it all
Claiming that the moon is merely just the sun of the night
Hold my hand
We’ll somehow find peace and comfort in the midst of this catastrophe
Close your eyes
And pretend that your blissful dreams are our new reality
…Lay still and play dead while the Earth begins to sadistically shake
Living under eyelids shut so tight and ceaselessly sleeping awake…
Wake up…no wait…now go back to sleep
The secrets they will always keep
The answers they will always hide
Conceal the truth with suicide
Wake up…no wait…you’re not asleep
Reality is merely just skin deep
No one knows or doesn’t even care
Close your eyes and erase your nightmare
… Living under eyelids shut so tight and ceaselessly sleeping awake…
Wake up…no wait…now go back to sleep
The secrets they will always keep
The truth they will always hide
Swimming against the ocean’s tide
Wait up…no wait…you were never even asleep
Please leave your message after the beep
Such a sinful sight we’re forced to see
Stitch your eyes shut to escape reality
…Stitch your eyes shut to erase reality
Close your eyes and forever flee
Run away and hide with me
Just close your eyes and count to three
Close your eyes and count to three
Close your eyes and you will finally see…
Wake up…no wait…now go back to sleep
Wake up…no wait…now go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
