ALWAYS COMING WITHIN RANGE OF FIRE
QUENCHING YOUR DESIRE
UNDERSTAND THERE IS NO DISTANCE
BETWEEN MY LOVE AND YOUR RESISTANT FEAR
WHERE CAN WE GO FROM HERE?
SHADOWS ON THE WALL THEY SPEAK IN TONGUES TO ME
BEGGING FOR THE FINAL BLOW TO SET THEM FREE WITH
MY EYES OPEN, MY EYES OPEN
MY EYES ARE OPEN TONIGHT
TAKING ON THE CHOICE BEFORE US
BRINGS TO MIND ANOTHER CHORUS NOW
WE SHOWED EACH OTHER HOW
LOOKING FOR THE WORDS TO TELL ME
HOW WAS I TO KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS UNKIND
THEY SEEM THE SAME TO MY MIND
IMAGES OF US TOGETHER WEIGH ME DOWN, DOWN
HAPPILY I TURN THE PAGES ALL FALL ROUND WITH
MY EYES OPEN, MY EYES OPEN
MY EYES ARE OPEN TONIGHT
AND IN THE END OUR WORDS ARE WASTED
TIME AND AGAIN WE SEE ONLY TRACES OF LOVE
JEALOUSY AND RAGE ARE WORTHLESS RECOMPENSE
THE ENERGY I WASTE ON THEM IS BETTER SPENT WITH
MY EYES OPEN, MY EYES OPEN
MY EYES ARE OPEN
MY EYES OPEN, MY EYES OPEN
MY EYES ARE OPEN TONIGHT
MY EYES ARE OPEN TONIGHT
