Eyes Wide

(album: Reckoning - 2015)

A product of hard living.
I was cut with wisdom earned through foolish acts.
I'm barely breathing but
I got to stay awake for whats coming next.

I see it coming.
I can't be seen.
Be sharp, be ready.
Breathe.

My eyes wide, prepared to do what it takes.
Aim, strike, kill... whatever comes my way.
My eyes wide, prepared to do what it takes.
Aim, strike, kill... whatever comes my way.

Hold the blade of wisdom close.
I'll cut through anything because anything goes.
Her eyes in my mind, his voice in my ear, the taste of her lips...
I'll guard what can't be replaced.

I see it coming.
I can't be seen.
Be sharp, be ready.
Breathe.

My eyes wide, prepared to do what it takes.
Aim, strike, kill... whatever comes my way.
My eyes wide, prepared to do what it takes.
Aim, strike, kill... whatever comes my way.

They can take my knife, I'll find a rock.
They can take my rock, I have my hands.
They can break my hands, I can still bite.
Whatever it takes, I'll keep my eyes wide.
