With eyes wide shut
Life stumbled on
Life's raging whirl
of ups and downs
The emptiness
The shallow void
Oh God please
open up my eyes
Now hues of bliss
fill shallow voids
Still ups and downs
but happiness
The spiritual realm
that guides the way
Thank God my eyes are
not wide shut

Hmmmm....
I think that there's a person on AP with the name "Eyes Wide Shut"
Cool, cool.
The first two lines are the most true.
You can't live life like that, and if you can, yeah... you're probably not going to go through it well.
"With eyes wide shut
Life stumbled on"
~~ beautiful.
I like the ending, too.
"Thank God my eyes are
not wide shut"
