Eyes Open

Eyes Open--Madilyn Bailey
Everybody's waiting, everybody's watching
Even when you're sleeping
Keep your e-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 up
Keep 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 e-eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
So here you are
Just steps ahead and staying
on guard
Every lesson forms a
new scar
They never thought you'd make it
this far
But turn around
Oh, they've surrounded you
It's a showdown
And nobody comes to save you now
But you got something they don't
Yeah you got something they don't
You just gotta...
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 e-eyes open
Keep your e-eyes open
Keep your eyes...
Keep your feet ready
Heartbeat steady
Keep your eyes... open
Keep your aim locked
The night grows dark
Keep your eyes... open
Keep your e-eyes open
Keep your e-eyes open
Everybody's waiting, for you to breakdown
Everybody's watching, to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eye, eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Keep your e-eyes open
Keep your eyes open
