Open Up My Eyes

Pierce the Veil-King for a Day, Sleeping with Sirens-Ears to see, Sleeping with Sirens-Four Corners & two sides, Pierce the Veil-Hell Above, Pierce the Veil-Bulletproof, Crown the Empire-Johnny Ringo

Please, won't you push me for the last time?
I can't believe a damn thing they say anymore
How has it taken so long for me to open up my eyes?
I see through you now

I won't fall for things you said before
I'm so sick of playing
I don't want this anymore
I cannot spend another night in this home

We used to laugh until we choked
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
My love for you was bulletproof
But you're the one who shot me

Tell me how has it taken so long to open up my eyes?
I see through you now
And I'm so sick of playing
I can't believe a damn thing they say anymore
I close my eyes and take a breath real slow

But, I can't feel air inside my lungs
I'm dead

Author's Note

I hope you all enjoy this second piece of "More Than A Machine". I just had a feeling that I could make another one since I keep finding new music all the time. Reviews are welcome! :)

I really like this. It's very lyrical. I guess it would be, if you draw your inspiration from music. I also love that you didn't end any of the sentences with full-stops. It makes you feel like there's more meaning than I see. Great job. Stay inspired.

And that is why we connect to music so much. Lyrics bring emotion to our minds we can relate to more than any other media and connect connect thoughts we struggle with. I like how effortlessly the words fall into place and bring meaning as a whole.
Great job Tessa. Im quite pleased by the fact that this old git has even heard of some of these. I still got it :)
Even if I dont know what it is :)

I didn't really mean for there to be any message in the poem. I was just in the mood to make some more poems made from song lyrics. This one just happened to come together as I tried to put together lyrics. There were other versions of this made before I settled on this one since the others weren't making much sense.
