Staind - 'Eyes Wide Open'

"Eyes Wide Open" as performed live on their 2011 tour.

Lyrics:

The hating and the waiting, hesitating
I just want to be done with you faking
For the taking but I’m wicked
Up to the fact that you’re lying, and denying
Justifying all the actions you take
It’s pathetic and poetic

It’s just sick!
It’s just sick!

Is compromise something you don’t understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open.
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan.
Don’t force my hand when my eyes are wide open.

Seeing is believing, now I’m leaving
All the damage is done
And you’ve broken the notion of trust
Cause you’re lying and denying
Justifying all the actions you take
It’s pathetic and poetic

It’s just sick!
It’s just sick!

Is compromise something you don’t understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open.
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan.
Don’t force my hand when my eyes are wide open.

Seeing is believing, now I’m leaving
All the damage is done

All the damage is done!
All the damage is done!

Is compromise something you don’t understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open.
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan.
Don’t force my hand when my eyes are wide open.

Don’t force my hand when my eyes are wide open.
Don’t force my hand when my eyes are wide open.

Force my hand
When my eyes are wide open.

Lying and denying is just sick!
Lying and denying is just sick!

It’s just sick!

This is so well-made, aggressive, and powerful, that I can play it over 60 times and it's as excellent EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Reunite soon, Staind, we all miss you.

[JayKayOkie]

Can't believe Aaron can go back and forth between this and country, and be awesome at both. Also love that he is a gun loving patriot who listens to Wilkow.

[franklaher]

My favorite Staind album for sure, this is just a masterpiece.

[douglab]

I really wish Staind would get back together. I loved this album.

[twistedm]

This is one of their heaviest songs since tormented and break the cycle

[Callofdutyman]

this song has so much badassness that the leader singer can grow, remove, and grow again, his beard just from singing throughout the video!

[Boddah.]

Surprise this doesn't already have 1M views.

If I ever won the lottery, I would use my winnings to get these guys together and play for my hometown. Miss these guys

May 4th, 2012, the best concert I've ever been to: Godsmack, Staind and Black Stone Cherry in Lexington, KY. I seriously wish I could relive that night again and again!

[aems]

Easily my favorite track off the new record. Rock on, Staind!

[coleacoveno]

Saw this live in Daytona last night had to look it up it was so raw and the best performance I’ve ever witnessed

[ythinder]

I live in the faint hope that Staind will one day return, but if they dont then what an awesome final album it was from them.

[breakingbenjaminfan]
