Sometimes we do things that aren't right, we don't open our eyes and wake up. we shut our selves out and hide. some people say that you should appreciate life but what is their to appreciate? how do we express ourselves in our world that locks us up, shuts us down and blames us for their wrong doings? I maybe a nobody but aren't we all?

Everybody's watching
Even when you're sleeping
Keep your ey-eyes open
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 and keeps score
Keep your eyes open
Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
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
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, they've surrounded you
