When I Open My Eyes

When I open my eyes, do you know what I see

I see you and me, the way it used to be, before you went away

I stumble into the hall, empty with hurt, full of alcohol

Five day shave hasn't been, why can I never win

I guess god wants it this way, I guess you just couldn't stay

Why must I live with this pain

When I open my eyes, do you know what I see

I see blood on my hands, I see what's left of a man

After his life slipped away

These streets are dark, they're cold, I'm looking too old

To be twenty-one, with a warrant and a gun, in a life where I have to run

Moonlight, there's no sun, how did it end up this way

When I open my eyes, do you know what I see

I see fire in my face, the burning leather and lace

How can I die in this place

But when I close my eyes, I see your face in the skies

I'm with you again, I can't even remember when, you weren't there

Powerful... I'm speechless. And shaking my head to a connected feeling... No words can abide me here.
