Walking Around With Your Eyes Wide Shut

Thinking back on all the times we spent
Running here, running there
Never taking the first step.
Conditioned to what’s around you
Living in the puppet show of life

Dancing along, singing their song
Slowly stirring from slumber
All the bright colors often dimmed to their liking
Seeing with new eyes all the wonder
Pulling at the chains as they get tighter

The more you see, things ain’t what they seem
The more you learn, things ain’t what they should be
The more you know, running from their rules
You’re living in their fantasy
It’s time to wake up and break the chains!

Walking around with your eyes wide shut
Thinking you’re in a land of the free
Seeing it’s only the land of deceit
Speaking your mind is an act of terrorism
Breaking the chains piece by piece

Get a new state of mind
Relearning what never should have been forgotten
Bracing yourself for what is yet to come
Praying for strength to carry on
Holding true to your beliefs.
