Lyrics for Tear Out My Eyes

The storm is coming and I have a choice To accept nature or lose my voice Shall I scream and plead for nothing Or build a roof over my head? I mourn the days that I wasted Trying to change what has been set Fighting against myself Before I tear, tear out my eyes I'll just admit they're part of me I've labelled enemies who do not hate me And then claims friends who could care less All an unnecessary struggle So now I know what it means to repent Changing everything Before I tear, tear out my eyes I'll just admit they're part of me (they're part of me) Instead of fighting against myself I will open my eyes To find who needs me I am awakened I am awakened Before I tear, tear out my eyes I'll just admit they're part of me (they're part of me) I am awakened
