Eyes Open

When did it become ok to give up?

When did mediocre suddenly become enough?

I don't remember telling you 

You could have my power,

When Grace was only saying 

I should wait for my hour?

When did it become alright for you

To set the standard I should bow to?

When did I give you the keys to my life?

When did I say,

Go ahead, it's alright?

At what point did I let free will go?

And since when did you become the leader I should follow?

When did I offer you my soul to whittle

And let you make me into someone so desperate,

So little?

I don't know when I became this person

But I'm wide awake now

And it's time for a reversal.

I may have forgotten who I was before

And lost side of what I was put here for,

But all that's over. 

God has broken the spell,

And I refuse to endure 

Another second of your hell.
