Eyes Wide Open Lyrics

No more wavin' the flag
I'm so done with all of that
This party is so old-hat
Fireworks and acrobats

Hush now, stay in your lane
It'll make no difference in any case
Logic has taken flight
On a tightrope-walking tiptoe through my mind

Came in with my eyes wide open
Now I'm a stranger in my own head
My resistance folded
And yesterday dealt me such a strange hand
To be the last one standin'

Now I'm here waitin', holding the line
I'm in no mood to compromise
Back where it all begun
It all adds up to a zero-sum

Came in with my eyes wide open
Now I'm a stranger in my own head
My resistance folded
Yesterday dealt me such a strange hand
To be the last one standing

Side-by-side, the matchstick groom and bride
Put all their focus, all their pride
Into carvin' out a niche that makes their universe complete
Puts a mirror to the face, and lets the madness take its place
Among the pantheon of greats inside your head
Deep inside the blueprint, written neat
By shylocks fat with rent to seek
The rule of 'finders' keepers' left the makers beggin, "please..."
Ooh...
