open my eyes

i have found my self lost

in this maze

i look into the broken mirror

that matches with my face

all i believe

has gone down the drain

and all i have seen

is washed down by rain

my eyes remain open

just for a while

im just going through the motion

instead of walk the extra mile

my heart isnt pumping

my mind has gone dead

i can hear yours thumping

inside my head

i lose my self

without your detection

i step to the plate

and face my reflection

i see myself

and i start to cry

with crooked self

and my greed eyes

im afraid to find out

what im fighting with

i no nothing about

defeating the stiff

everything goes numb

inside my mind

we all are dumb

time after time

i have found my self lost

in this maze

i look into the broken mirror

that matches with my face

i cant understand

how they die

ill find out who i am

when i open my eyes

stupid thoughts

my halocaust

thankful 4 what i got

right on the dot

i open my hands

wait for the rain

i hope to catch it

so i dont get flushed down the drain

im doused in mud

ive fallen in love

in confused by the signs

sent from above

if u can hear me

hear me

if u dont fear me

fear me

when things go wrong

plz dont try 2 steer me

its better off if i go the wrong way

ill see you again, some other day

i have found myself lost

in this maze

i look into the broken mirror

that matches with my face

i cant understand

how they die

ill find out who i am

when i open my eyes

my pain reminds me of her

everytime i cry

i just wonna got up 2 heaven

up in the blue skys

and when night comes, and its gone away

my head remains high

although i feel like a stray

i still can open my eyes

it seems as if my life has past as fast as it came

and i look back into the past

let me tell u, even when ur in the most pain

its still ok to laugh

and i was hoping for a possibility

ive been coping over the unseen

and when i think of her

i cant help being happy 4 awhile

i forget the reason y i am crying

and i just smile

i have found myself lost

in this maze

i look into the broken mirror

that matches with my face

i cant understand

how they die

ill find out who i am

when i open my eyes

i have found myself inside

no longer trapped in this maze

i look into the shining mirror

right at my face

i now understand

why they died

i now know who i am

now that i opened my eyes
