  • With our eyes wide open, we
    With our eyes wide open, we

    So this is the end of the story
    Everything we had, everything we did
    Is buried in dust
    And this dust is all that's left of us
    But only a few ever worried
    While the signs were clear, they had no idea
    You just get used to livin' in fear
    Or give up when you can't even picture your future

    We walk the plank with our eyes wide open

    We walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we
    (Walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we)
    Yeah, we walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we
    (Walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we)

    Some people offered up answers (answers)
    We made out like we heard, they were only words
    They didn't add up to a change in the way we were living
    And the saddest thing is all of it could've been avoided
    But it was like to stop consuming, is to stop being human
    And why'd I make a change if you won't
    We're all in the same boat, stayin' afloat for the moment

    We walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we
    (Walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we)
    Yeah, we walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we
    (Walk the plank with our eyes wide open)
    We walk the plank with our eyes wide open
    We walk the plank with our eyes wide open
    We walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we

    With our eyes wide open, we walk the plank, we walk the plank
    With our eyes wide open, we walk the plank, we walk the plank, we walk the plank
    With our eyes wide open, we walk the plank, we walk the plank

    That was the end of the story (with our eyes wide open, we) Writer/s: Walter Andre De Backer
