Open your eyes, you're in a state of denial
Not a time to hide from a world that's frightening
Find a way to get by while your hands may tremble
All your calls for help will return to sender

So frightening
There's no silver lining

Open your eyes, restore the splendour
Better say your goodbyes to the great pretender

So frightening
There's no silver lining

Open up, open up
Something is not quite right
Open your eyes and try to remember

On a clear and distant ocean
There's that slow and steady motion
There are sights that will always blind you
Where stark shadows seek and find you
As you're trying to remember
You were once the great pretender
Now the options leave you sad and blue
See the bitter ends will find you

Open your eyes to the bright light of sobriety
Colors are true - colors are true
Over the hilltops you fly to find remedies
So much older and wiser
And it made me see the light in you

Open up your eyes, try to remember
'Twas a world at war, a time of grief and slumbers

Hold on to what's yours
Come on hell or come on high water

Hell - high water
Hell - high water

Open up your eyes
It's time to choose a side

Hold on
You stand your ground and don't forget it
Hold on
The time is perfect once you're ready
Hold on
Lies waiting - you just go and grab it
