about

Nobody is objective when they face their darkest issues, yet at the same time deep down we know something’s wrong. We only look away because we’re afraid of what we’ll see, the darkness staring right back at us. Because you know that whatever you’re doing is wrong; and still you carry on, because it’s all you know to do…

lyrics

Driving With Open Eyes ( R.d.G)

Down the road there's nothing new
Objects sliding into view
Never sure if you'll arrive
So you shift straight into overdrive

Punching holes here in the sky
But never really knowing why
While all this time you remain unheard
In a world that seems so absurd

(Chorus)
And here along the ride
Pretending the dig yields only surprise
It shows you the senselessness
When you're driving with open eyes

This innocence is nothing new
As you're sliding right there past the pew
All that's distant rushes past
You've been too slow, the die is cast

Turning tables just to make you see
That one and one too much make three
Here's hoping that you'll trust the guide
Instead of all the times you defied

(Chorus)
Here out in the open
weaving tales out of all the lies
It shows you the senselessness
Of driving with open eyes
And here among the ashes
Facing away from the advice
It shows you the senselessness
When you're driving with open eyes

Don't think you felt the fire
When you burned down into the mire
Don't think you heard it at all
When the engine seemed to stall

Don't think you sensed the ache
When you were so close to break
Don't think you saw it at all
as you're heading for a fall

(Chorus & solo to fade)
