Open My Eyes

(album: All This Life - 2022)

Have I lost my mind
Only time will tell
I got locked inside all by myself
Like the layers of an onion
We all get peeled away
When no one's watching
Do you feel the same?

I been tryna
Open my, open my
Open my, open my eyes
It's been a while
It's been a minute now
It's been a minute now yeaheah
I been tryna
Open my, open my
Open my, open my eyes
Tear drops on the fire
Diamonds in the sky

Yo dear diary
I'm struggling with sobriety
A menace to society
Got family that rely on me
Penning this maniacally
Prime candidate for therapy
Turn my back on help
Don't want nobody taking care of me
Reality is LSD
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Eyes wide shut
I can barely lift my eyelids
Lord knows I been trying
Just to open up my peep holes
Forgotten how to dream
What's the point of going to sleep for?
As I lie awake at night
Contemplating my existence
Stardust on a giant's thumb
Debating my significance
If I write a love song would it even make a difference?
'Cause long after we're living
The world will keep on spinning
Puts this shit into perspective
Forgive me but I'm restless
It's a head-trip but sometimes I can't get out of bed
It's been a minute
Since I'm feeling like my life gone be ok
Yours sincerely
Pray tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day

I been tryna
Open my, open my
Open my, open my eyes
It's been a while
Been a minute now
It's been a minute now oh
I been tryna
Open my, open my
Open my, open my eyes
Tear drops on the fire
Diamonds in the sky whoa oh

I been tryna
Open my, open my
Open my, open my eyes
It's been a while
It's been a minute now
It's been a minute now yeaheah
I been tryna
Open my, open my
Open my, open my eyes
Tear drops on the fire
Diamonds in the sky

Gentle is my touch
That could be my best mistake
I've been stretching out
Guided by this mess I've made, No
I didn't wanna call your bluff
Why'd you have to rig the game?
Dead wood's burning up and
You don't have a thing to say

I been tryna
Open my, open my
Open my, open my eyes
It's been a while
It's been a minute now
It's been a minute now yeaheah
I been tryna
Open my, open my
Open my, open my eyes
Tear drops on the fire
Diamonds in the sky
