Dead (With Eyes Wide Open)

Verse1
Your eyes wide open
as my tears pour the salt on your pain
your darkness surrounds me
as I call out your name

 

Bridge
My mind speaks
for you're the one in pain
our lips meet
one more time
but somehow
Heaven it's yours

and mine

Chorus
I'm Dead With Eyes Wide Open
it's not the same
I played your game
now I'm Dead With Eyes Wide Open

Verse2
The matramony in your eyes
seems to please me
are you hypnotized
when you think about me
how you beat my name into the ground
how you ripped out my beatin' heart
how you raped me of my soul

Repeat Chorus

(solo)

Verse3
You didn't trust me
I don't know why I trusted you
you're the one shot of madness and
death I don't need
you should know
when you cut me
I bleed

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

Author's Notes/Comments: 

"Dead (With Eyes Wide Open)" was written in my early twenties. I used to be dark and brooding all the time. This one is kind of strange. It came from a strange place and I wrote it and put music to it. It was just something that popped in my mind. The thought of what would it be like to die cuz someone smashed your heart and soul to bits and didn't care.
