Taylor Swift "Eyes Wide Open" (from The Hunger Games soundtrack)

 Country-pop star Taylor Swift hits her standard mark of perfection yet again with "Eyes Open", the second track she composed for 'The Hunger Games' film soundtrack, available for purchase on March 20, 2012 - "Eyes Open" lasts 4:04 minutes, and is the #14 track on the disc. It's amazing! And I'm liking the fact it's different in style to "Safe and Sound". Although "Eyes Open" still features Taylor singing in her vulnerable vocals, it carries a more rock/pop instrumentation and overall it kind of resembles to a typical Taylor Swift tune she could've recorded for any of her previous album. Truly a masterpiece!

(Taylor Swift)
"Everybody's waiting""
"Everybody's watching"
"Even when you're sleeping"
"Keep your ey-eyes open"

"A tricky thing"
"As yesterday we were just children"
"Playing soldiers"
"Just pretending"
"Dreaming dreams with happy endings"
"In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords"
"But now we've stepped into a cruel world"
"Where everybody stands to keep score"

Keep your eyes open

Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
Everybody's watching to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open

So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guard
Every lesson forms a new scar
They never thought you'd make it this far
But turn around, they've surrounded you
It's a showdown, and nobody comes to save you now
But you've got something they don't
Yeah you've got something they don't
You've just gotta keep your eyes open

"Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown"
"Everybody's watching to see the fallout"
"Even when you're sleeping, sleeping"
"Keep your eyes open"
"Keep your eyes open"
"Keep your eyes open"
"
"Keep your feet ready"
"Heartbeat steady"
"Keep your eyes open"
"Keep your aim locked"
"The night goes dark"
"Keep your eyes open"

"Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown"
"Everybody's watching to see the fallout"
"Even when you're sleeping, sleeping"

"Keep your eyes open"
"Keep your eyes open"
"Keep your eyes open"
"Keep your eyes open"
