PEARL JAM LYRICS - I'm Open

"I'm Open"



a man lies in his bed in a room with no door

he waits hoping for a presence, something, anything to enter

after spending half his life searching, he still felt as blank

as the ceiling at which he's staring

he's alive, but feels absolutely nothing

so, is he?

when he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him

by nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact

no tradebacks...

so this is what it's like to be an adult

if he only knew now what he knew then...

i'm open

i'm open

come in

come in

come in

come in

i'm open

i'm open

come in

come in

come in

come in

lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers

he decides to dream...

dream up a new self for himself
