Damon Lawner lived the life people fantasize about—then watched it burn. Again and again.

He built secret worlds, then shattered them by breaking the code of silence he wrote.

This book wasn’t penned to impress. It’s here to dismantle illusion.

Damon has done what few dare to do: told his whole story—the dark and the light—without flinching. And that’s exactly why it matters.

Eyes Wide Open doesn’t just reveal who Damon is—it reflects what most of us hide. The fantasies. The shame. The search for meaning. The ache to feel something real. To live the life we imagine.

If these words stir something in you—a voice you’ve silenced, a secret you’ve buried—keep reading. This book won’t save you. But it will challenge you. To love fully. To create bravely. To live without the mask.

Others tried to tell his story—through headlines, podcasts, television. But now, Damon tells it himself. All of it. And what a ride it is.

What follows is the unfiltered truth—one breathtaking chapter at a time.
