Lyrics

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 And only a few ever worried While the signs were clear, they had no idea You just get use 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—) And some people offered up answers We made out we 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, 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— (We walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we—) We walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we— We walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we— 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 With our eyes wide open And that is the end of the story
