Eraserhead Rap: Eyes Open Wide Lyrics

I keep my eyes open wide

When it's all said, while I'm not dead

While I draw breath, I ain't missing

On one minute of my life

When the tears come, when I'm fearful

I am fearsome, I ain't blinking

I keep my eyes open wide

With every new direction

I'm expanding my perception

No deception, I am piercing

Through the lies

I roll like Aizawa

Don't focus on my trauma

Just the future that I want

Not what's behind

Now I've seen tottering fiends fall

Like a see-saw, but I'm stable

I keep calm, I don't preach psalms

I just teach all that I'm able

I've seen bent minds on these headlines

And I've rent mine into pieces

If I get fried and I'm red-eyed

Then I've been trying to ease it

Son of a bitch

I was trying to plan how I'm gonna be rich

Some ways, I shifted perspective

Soon as I thought of it in the collective

Some will sleep on the game

I'll be in my bag just keeping the same

Energy that a small Pipsqueak had attained

When nobody's tracks had Freeced in the name

I keep my eyes open wide

When it's all said, while I'm not dead

While I draw breath, I ain't missing

On one minute of my life

When the tears come, when I'm fearful

I am fearsome, I ain't blinking

I keep my eyes open wide

With every new direction

I'm expanding my perception

No deception, I am piercing

Through the lies

I roll like Aizawa

Don't focus on my trauma

Just the future that I want

Not what's behind

Why don't you pray for me

I'm waiting patiently

Why don't you tell me I'm living a life

Without purpose or agency

Why don't you run from me

Drop all your guns for me

Realize you'll never be able to tell

Anyone how it's gonna be

New wounds heal in a flash

Old ones hide till you peel back the mask

You feel out attacks so you see how they match

Every scar is a patch of a part of your past

But I'll never look away

Cuz I can see the other side of me

And I'm binding, my grasp is tightening

I know I'll find it if

I keep my eyes open wide

When it's all said, while I'm not dead

While I draw breath, I ain't missing

On one minute of my life

When the tears come, when I'm fearful

I am fearsome, I ain't blinking

I keep my eyes open wide

With every new direction

I'm expanding my perception

No deception, I am piercing

Through the lies

I roll like Aizawa

Don't focus on my trauma

Just the future that I want

Not what's behind

I keep my eyes open wide

When it's all said, while I'm not dead

While I draw breath, I ain't missing

On one minute of my life

When the tears come, when I'm fearful

I am fearsome, I ain't blinking

I keep my eyes open wide

With every new direction

I'm expanding my perception

No deception, I am piercing

Through the lies

I roll like Aizawa

Don't focus on my trauma

Just the future that I want

Not what's behind
