My eyes have been open for too long They sting when I search for relief By closing My eyes have seen dope fiends at age thirteen They ask me if I have any sunshine I say I'm terrified there's none And I'm so afraid of the world waiting for them In the darkness of their rooms Whatever Not an original thought has come from a mouth in so long Just the same bitter, warped lips Smoldering cigarettes Whispering prayers "My eyes have been open for too long" Their hearts sting when they search for relief by closing

I wish that we were magic
My eyes have been open for too long They sting when I search for relief By closing My eyes have seen dope fiends at age thirteen They ask me if I have any sunshine I say I'm terrified there's none And I'm so afraid of the world waiting for them In the darkness of their rooms Whatever Not an original thought has come from a mouth in so long Just the same bitter, warped lips Smoldering cigarettes Whispering prayers "My eyes have been open for too long" Their hearts sting when they search for relief by closing
