Eyes Wide Open
Beth Crowley Lyrics

I was
I grew up

Raised in the shadows
In a dark and hidden environment

So blinded
Unable to see clearly

Lost until I chose
Confused and directionless until I made a decision

To find out
To discover

The truth of what I really am
The reality of my identity

I learned
I discovered

c power has always been
My hidden strength has always existed

In me
Within myself

Biding its time but
Waiting patiently

I'm ready
I am prepared

I'm giving the unknown a chance
I am embracing new experiences

But everything comes
However, there are consequences

With a price
That must be paid

There's a whole other world within my reach
There is an entirely different world I can access

c whole other world now I can see
A completely different reality is now visible to me

I'm still running heart first
I am still following my heart

But with eyes wide open
But now I am fully aware

You pulled
You rescued

Me out of the smoke like
Out of a difficult situation, like smoke

c hunter
An expert in finding what is hidden

cnd one look from you made me
And your glance made me

Want more
Desire something greater

Than the trenches that I left behind
Than the difficult circumstances I escaped from

When I
During the time when I

Lost everything I heard your
Experienced complete loss and in the midst of it, your

Voice and
Words and

It cut its way into
Penetrated deeply into

The poison
The negativity and toxicity

I felt your love bring me to life
I perceived your affection revitalizing me

I carved you out a
I reserved a part of myself for you

Piece of me
Fragment of my being

I look in the mirror to see what it hides
I examine the mirror to uncover its secrets

But sometimes reflections are tricks of the light
However, sometimes what is reflected is deceptive

cnd you never know what is lurking inside
And one can never anticipate what is hidden within

Inside
Within oneself
