Eyes wide open, feed on every line, every picture, every word,
The cut so deep, and razor fine,
And is it any wonder, that what I hate is what I seek?
When blood becomes a common scene,
When heart is hard, and flesh is weak.
I will not be lied or denied,
I will not accept, respect, or bow to...
Everything you give is everything you take, and I don't even think that I'd know how to,
Turn around and walk into the death that was my life, or maybe life that was my death,
And I may be your human target; only 'til my final breath
Force fed, exploited 'til dead,
With my final breath I'm led,
Force fed, misguided 'til dead,
And with my final breath I lay.
Crush the soul and fill the hole with any substitute to take the place,
Send far away from sacrifice and grace,
Eyes wide open and I'm blind, blind, blind,
Smoke from your lips to take my vision,
Blood from the son to make me shine.
I will not be lied or denied,
I will not accept, respect, or bow to...
Everything you give is everything you take, and I don't even think that I'd know how to,
Turn around and walk into the death that was my life, or maybe life that was my death,
And I may be your human target; only 'til my final breath
Force fed, exploited 'til dead,
With my final breath I'm led,
Force fed, misguided 'til dead,
And with my final breath I lay.
I took my body down to the truth, and hoped the truth was not a lie,
I took my soul on down to the water, hoped the water wasn't dry,
You fed me pain, fed the pain on doubt of love,
Lived the lie, couldn't satisfy - made me look somewhere above.
I will not be lied or denied,
I will not accept, respect, or bow to...
Everything you give is everything you take, and I don't even think that I'd know how to,
Turn around and walk into the death that was my life, or maybe life that was my death,
And I may be your human target; only 'til my final breath
Force fed, exploited 'til dead,
With my final breath I led,
Force fed, misguided 'til dead,
And with my final breath I lay.
