"Open Your Eyes" lyrics

"Open Your Eyes"

Monday I drifted away
With some coffee to keep me awake
Then I sang to you one final time
Cause this hopelessness shut up your eyes
Tuesday I woke with the dawn
And the horrible wedding went on
She said time is a [?] stress
You can drink but you'll never fool it

I am invisible to you
All on my own, what can I do?
Southbound is heaven, the city is sin

And Wednesday I hung from a tree
Hoping that she'd notice me
And she bathed all my wounds in her tears
And showered me with sympathy
Thursday was harder to take
With these these pills piled high on my plate
So I swallowed each one in a haze
In a cascade of light I was saved

I am invisible to you
All on my own what can I do?
Southbound is heaven, the city is sin

She says, "I'm sorry, my darling
Time stole the joy we were hiding
I am in love and this child is yours"

And I don't want to live in this lie
And let darkness just cover my eyes
And I'm trying to get myself clean
But it's all I can do to just scream
La di da da di da da da da
Da da da da da da da
La di da da di da da da da
Da da da da di da da da da

I have a question for you, I made a mistake and I need to know, um, how to rectify it. I'll do my best. Well I just feel like, there's something more that I'm supposed to be doing besides.
