Broken Lives (Acoustic Version)

[Intro]

Open your eyes and it'll make it easier to fight through

The dark times, the dark times

Hold the light and it'll make it easier to shine through

The dark times, the dark times

[Verse 1]

I remember a time when I was young and blind

Couldn't take the fall for anything at all

I blamed it on everybody else (I blamed it on everybody else)

Like the New World Order, the Illuminati, as long as it wasn't me

I was afraid of the mirror, of what I would see

I didn't wanna see me

[Chorus]

Open your eyes and it'll make it easier to fight through

The dark times, the dark times

Hold the light and it'll make it easier to shine through

The dark times, the dark times

If the sky is always raining black

If the world is always stabbing you in the back

Open your eyes and you will find that we all live broken lives

Yeah, we all live broken lives

[Verse 2]

I was envious of other peoples love

Hung up on why I didn't have their lives

I blamed it on everybody else, I blamed it on everybody

Like corrupt politicians or the shitty economy

As long as it wasn't me

One day I lifted my head and looked into the mirror

I was staring at me

[Chorus]

Open your eyes and it'll make it easier to fight through

The dark times, the dark times

Hold the light and it'll make it easier to shine through

The dark times, the dark times

If the sky is always raining black

If the world is always stabbing you in the back

Open your eyes and you will find that we all live broken lives

[Bridge]

Remember we all go down in flames

We fail to live up to invisible names

Without a heart, stuck in our minds

We can't forget that we all live broken lives
