Gotye - Eyes Wide Open lyrics

With our eyes wide open, we
With our eyes wide open, we

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 use to livin' 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)

And some people offered up answers (answers)
We made out we 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've been avoided
But it was like to stop consuming
To stop being human
And why'd I make a change if you won't
We're all in the same, boat
Stayin' afloat for the moment

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
(We walk the plank with our eyes wide open
We)
We walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we
We walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we
We walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we

With our eyes wide open, we
Walk the plank, we walk the plank
With our eyes wide open, we
Walk the plank, we walk the plank
We walk the plank
With our eyes wide open, we
Walk the plank, we walk the plank
With our eyes wide open
And that is the end of the story
