As I walk along these streets I see a man that walks alone Distant echo of people′s feet He has no place to call his own A shot rings out from a roof overhead A crackhead asks for change nearby An old man lies in an alleyway dead A little girl lost just stands there and cries
What would you do, if it was you Would you take everything For granted like you do
A boy just 13 on the corner for sale Swallows his pride for another hit Overpopulation there′s no room in jail But most of you don′t give a shit That your daughters are porno stars And your sons sell death to kids You′re so lost in your little worlds Your little worlds you′ll never fix
You turn away As I walk along the streets Soaking up the acid rain Underneath the taxi cabs I hear the streets cry out in vain
Looking back I clearly see What it is that′s killing me Through the eyes of one I know I see a vision once let go I had it all
Constantly it burdens me Hard to trust and can′t believe Lost the faith and lost the love When the day is done
Will they open their eyes And realize we are one On and on we stand alone Until our day has come When they open their eyes And realize we are one
I love the way I feel today But how I know the sun will fade Darker days seem to be What will always live in me But still I run
It′s hard to walk this path alone Hard to know which way to go Will I ever save this day Will it ever change
Will they open their eyes And realize we are one
Still today we carry on I know our day will come When they open their eyes And realize we are one
Will they open their eyes And realize we are one (its hard to walk this path alone hard to know which way to go) Will they open their eyes and realize we are one (lost the faith and lost the love when the day is done)
All this feels strange and untrue And I won′t waste a minute without you My bones ache, my skin feels cold And I′m getting so tired and so old
The anger swells in my guts And I won′t feel these slices and cuts I want so much to open your eyes Cos I need you to look into mine
Tell me that you′ll open your eyes [x4]
Get up, get out, get away from these liars Cos they don′t get your soul or your fire Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine And we′ll walk from this dark room for the last time
Every minute from this minute now We can do what we like anywhere I want so much to open your eyes Cos I need you to look into mine
Tell me that you′ll open your eyes [x8]
All this feels strange and untrue And I won′t waste a minute without you
Lately, I′m not quite myself. Maybe, I do need some help. Just my confusion, Trust my delusion.
Don′t you, Regret you met me. Go through, These steps to get me, Back to where we start, ′Fore I fall apart.
If I could black out, It′d become so clear, Standing face-to-face with everything I fear. Watch so closely, but still I don′t see. As bad as it seems, a piece of mind I steal, In ordinary life, the consequence is real. I′m past the point of reality.
This isn′t me, This isn′t you, But it′s just everything we do. Till you open up your eyes, and understand this isn′t real. This isn′t me, This isn′t you, This is everything but true, Till we come to realize, It′s what we put each other through.
It′s like a bad dream, that′s becoming all too true, Leaving me with nothing else left to do. Now so helpless, I′m not so selfish. Tell me, How does it feel to have a face like that, How does it feel to be replaced like that. Now so faceless, Do you still feel?
It′s hard to believe right now, This seems to be real. Still phasing by this time, So why can′t I wake up.
Have you ever been for sale ? When your isms get smart Oh so selfish and mindless With that comment in your eye
Do you think that you are hard ? Really harder than the other Man youre acting cold If you are not in charge
Dont split your mentality Without thinking twice Your voice has got no reason Now is the time to face your lies
Open your eyes, open your mind Proud like a God dont pretend to be blind Trapped in yourself, break out instead Beat the machine that works in your head
Will you offer me some tricks If I ever need them Would you go into that room If I call em
Do you think that you are better Really better than the rest Realize theres a problem I know that you can give your best
Have you ever had a dream? Or is life just a trip? A trip without chances A chance to grow up quick
Open your eyes, open your mind ...
Hide your face forever Dream and search forever Night and night you feel nothing Theres no way outside of my land
Sunrise wake up stand up look into Red eyes Stayed up all night thinking of Reasons why I can′t feel your skin
Is this plaguing your brain? Is this plaguing your brain?
Couldn′t brace yourself in the morphine hallway lying on the ground with a heart as a ball and chain message to the bird I know your wings will be fine spread them on the floor, learn to heal with take time
Close the hatch and lock us inside (Now breath in wide I′ll forgive you later) Close the hatch and lock us inside (Come on it′s time just stand aside)
All these reasons why I am reaching wide I am sticking to all these one liners and all this means and all I have to say
Stay till my word Because I can send you to the side
Cut off these ties till this is why we were holding to one night breathe in without love hear me form these lines falling in love I have been reading lies.
Watch this turn to dust I won′t know when you′ve fallen Now it all takes shape I won′t go until you follow
Couldn′t brace yourself in the morphine hallway lying on the ground with a heart as a ball and chain message to the bird I know your wings will be fine spread them on the floor, learn to heal with take time
I don′t even get the movie cold ice feels so soothing I don′t even get the movie cold ice feels so soothing
Watch this turn to dust I won′t know when you′ve fallen Now it all takes shape I won′t go until you follow
I don′t feel anything, stuck in the passing lane I don′t feel anything, stuck in the passing lane Break, wait, stop, back off the bitch Break, wait, stop, back off the bitch Break, wait, stop, back off the bitch Break, wait, stop, back off the bitch
Block out the sound of the police beckoning duck in the back and the lights will shut off again You can go for it just don′t ignore it ration the wine, laughing in revelry You can go for it just don′t ignore it caution I′m drugged, we′ll here comes the symphony the rapist gives God a hug.
Between suicide and all your dirty lies Are you looking sad for girls Are you looking bad for sympathy
It’s getting hard to say open your eyes Needles haven’t fixed anything It’s getting hard to say open your eyes
I guess we’re millions of faces Waiting somewhere for somebody else’s place To feel like home

Between suicide and secrets that you hide Are you feeding pain like birds Are you trading pearls for misery
