Open your eyes

You're stuck inside your head

It's screaming at you

Saying you'd be better dead

Telling you there's no point in trying

That you should kill yourself instead.

Staring at the lack of light

Inside your mind steals all delight

Away from you, leaves no insight

Into the thing that is your plight;

The monster that says that it's alright

To go and take away your life.

Open your eyes.

You've been stuck inside your head

It was lying to you.

It said you'd be better dead.

Told you there's no reason to try

Said to kill yourself instead.

But the reason to try,

Is something you will find,

Happiness awaits,

But first you must leave your mind

When the day is done,

I've close my eyes and have resigned

the troubles of my life,

I look into the mirror inside my mind

And see around my heart

dark and light entwined.

Round my neck

The cold chains of death

Draw tighter evermore,

Straining to release my breath

And let me inhale nevermore.

My hands are stained with the Blood of my innocence

Mind and heart torn apart,

A violent dissonance

No unity, they won't agree on what to be, giving me,

Confidence in my incompetence.

Never before was a mirror so true,

That's what's inside of me,

Now what's inside of you?

My soul has a sidecar

But lacks a passenger

That's adventurous and daring;

Life's marvelous challenger.

Though the sidecar's pretty nice,

What's even better are the sights

That you and me would go and see

On those amazing star filled nights.

We'll drive for miles and miles

And have adventures galore.

We'd see all there is to be seen

And discover even more

Though we'll hit bumps and holes and such,

Maybe even pop a tire,

We'll fix it up and drive on through

Because we'll have what we desire.

And when our gas has all run out

And the engine's all but died

It will be alright, we won't fright

Because we'll be by each other's side.
