  • I'm only whatever you make me
    And you make me more and more a villain every day
    But you don't know, you reap, you sow
    Whatever you give to me
    From yourself you take
    Well, if you're a hater
    Then hate the creator
    It's in your image I'm made

    One eye open and one eye closed
    'Cause I'll hang myself if you give me rope
    I've lost all my faith and lost all hope
    That everything means anything at all
    One eye broken and one eye bruised
    'Cause I gave myself away for you
    You liar! You don't love me too
    It's easy for you, after all

    My heart is massive but it's empty
    A permanent part of me, that innocent artery
    Is gasping for some real attention
    Some undivided hypertension
    I tell it "Quiet down, you're being loud"
    But it beats harder every time you come around
    But do you love the sound?

    I sleep with one eye open and one eye closed
    'Cause I'll hang myself if you give me rope
    I lost all my faith and lost all hope
    That everything means anything at all
    One eye broken and one eye bruised
    'Cause I gave myself away for you
    You liar you don't love me too
    It's easy for you after all

    Losing you is easier than lying to myself that you love me
    Losing you is easier than lying to myself that you love me
    Losing you is easier than lying to myself that you love me
    Losing you is easier than lying to myself

    I sleep with one eye open and one eye closed
    'Cause I'll hang myself if you give me rope
    I lost all my faith and lost all hope
    That everything means anything at all
    One eye broken and one eye bruised
    'Cause I gave myself away for you
    You liar you don't love me too
    It's easy for you after all Writer/s: Ashley Frangipane, Atticus Ross, Johnathan Cunningham, Trent Reznor
