"Open Eyes" lyrics

"Open Eyes"

You size me up but hide it in a question
You think it's love, but really it's a weapon
And we scream for change and call it honesty
We only see the things we wanna see
I've had enough
But I don't know where to go

You told me to hold your hand
And count it as a blessing
Don't go second guessin'
Don't go askin' any questions
Don't look around you
Keep starin' forward, clothed in white
Let's paint a circle, stay inside
Fool ourselves with open eyes

Cover your thighs, keep runnin' from your shadow
But don't be surprised if you can ever let go
Let's dance around the things we wanna say
Let's hide behind a smile on our face
I've seen enough
But I don't know where to go

You told me to hold your hand
And count it as a blessing
Don't go second guessin'
Don't go askin' any questions
Don't look around you
Keep starin' forward, clothed in white
Let's paint a circle, stay inside
Fool ourselves with open eyes

Can we, can we, finally be honest?
Can we, can we, finally be honest?
Can we, can we, finally be honest?
Can we, can we, finally be honest?

You told me to hold your hand
And count it as a blessing
Don't go second guessin'
Don't go askin' any questions
Don't look around you
Keep starin' forward, clothed in white
Let's paint a circle, stay inside
Fool ourselves with open eyes
Yeah, fool ourselves with open eyes
Yeah, fool ourselves with open eyes
