(With Open Eyes is about overcoming the pain, fear, baggage, and stigma that come with mental health problems. It's about the wonder of a life lived for the purpose of reclaiming the time that has been lost to illness.)
lyrics
There’s so much you won’t let go
So gripped by the emptiness
You won’t show it but I know
You’ve sunken into distress
All that you refuse to face
Leaves you guarded and austere
Hiding an arcane disgrace
And living enslaved to fear
Don’t you want to feel a little more alive
And live with open eyes?
‘Cause if you can believe, you’ll find you’re just in time
To leave it all behind
You have carried endless war
Inside of your mind
Picture now an open door
And take back the time
Don’t you wanna feel a little more alive
And live with open eyes?
‘Cause if you can believe, you’ll find you’re just in time
To leave it all behind
With open eyes
Don’t you wanna feel a little more alive
And live with open eyes?
‘Cause if you can believe, you’ll find you’re just in time
To leave it all behind
AfterWake is one of the dopest up-and-coming prog bands in Toronto, and we've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with them. TIL is melodic, bouncy, groovy, and emotional in all the right ways. KOZEN
Polarity are veterans in the Toronto prog & rock scene and they've been like our older siblings - we've played with them more than any other band. Proggy, melodic, and powerful. KOZEN
Arrowheads are our brothers from Quebec. We toured with their old band We Throw Flowers back in 2017, and their new project delivers undeniable metalcore/post-hardcore greatness. KOZEN
