Lyrics:
DYING WITH YOUR EYES OPEN
Another day gone in the city
Long days, short nights
Might as well not go home
And all your air is not your own
You say, "Save me a breath, cause I can't breathe."
Light a cigarette, loosen the tie
Gotta run, catch the bus, get in line to die
I know what you're thinking 'bout
You got a lot of time, but no more life
People have a right to die in their sleep
And there's something wrong with the company you keep
Something the matter with useless hopin'
Dying with your eyes open
No more, there's something wrong
You think, "No more, there's something wrong."
The check is high, but the ride's too long
And it's all gotta stop, cause there's something wrong
I see you seeing them,
And you tell yourself you're not like them
But you look like them, and you dress like them
And you live like them, like them, like them!
People have a right to die in their sleep
And there's something wrong with the company you keep
Something the matter with useless hopin'
Dying with your eyes open
Your stomach's acid from the coffee you drink
You brain is leadened with the thoughts that you think
A perfect chain of missing links
All breaking down in restroom sinks
People have a right to die in their sleep
And there's something wrong with the company you keep
Something the matter with useless hopin'
Dying with your eyes open
There's something wrong
There's something wrong
There's something wrong
There's something wrong
