Epitomize

When will I open my eyes?
And see that the man in the mirror
Is just a lonely man in disguise
A smile hides him from being seen so clear
My imagination shoots through the sky
As I pretend my problems don’t exist
I pretend that nothing is wrong with me
What a large imagination it is
But every night reality hits me
Harder and harder as the nights pass
I don’t know where I am going in life
But I know I am never looking back

When will I open my eyes?
And uncover and solve this mystery
When will I release these feelings?
When will I release this misery?
I open my heart to who ever wants in
You could kill me for all I care
I go through so much pain now
There is no pain that I can not bare
My head is pounding like a pulsate
My eyes still remain closed
Someone help me open them
And reveal to me everything I don’t know.

When will I open my eyes?
And see that the man in the mirror
Is just an abandoned man in disguise
Who hides behind his leer
My imagination grows and grows
As I pretend I am not on the cliff
Preparing myself to jump off
What a large imagination it is
But every night reality hits me
Every night I am reminded of the same pain
The pain runs through my body
And it’s the reason I continue to constrain
