Eyes Wide Open Lyrics - Making Mirrors - Gotye

With our eyes wide open we... (x2) 

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 used to living 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) 

Some people offered up answers (questions) 

We made out 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 have been avoided 

But it was like to stop consuming's to stop being human 

And why'd I make a change if you won't? 

We're all in the same boat 

Staying afloat for the moment 

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open 

(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we) 

And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we 

(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we) 

With our eyes wide open we 

We walk the plank, we walk the plank 

So that is the end of the story
