the road to hell is paved
with good intentions
dreams can only sustain for so long
turning away with apprehension,
life passes you by as you
trip over another lost cause

Life goes on...

open your eyes, break the cycle
open your eyes, alone in the crowd
(of unscrupulous minds)
open your eyes, break the cycle
open your eyes, open your mind

hours turn into days of endless struggle
on the road to nowhere
what was once clear, now a distant shadow
why effort alone is not enough
to stop the tide from washing you away

Life goes on...

the acrid smell of deceit
the fuel that transforms notions into sound
absorbed and fused, minds confused
into catalytic tone...
condemns and decries the mistakes,
and the lies, and the pain

the road to hell paved with good intentions
dreams can only sustain for so long
open your eyes
and break away from your restraints
let the blind guide your path no more...

Break from your past

open your eyes, break the cycle
open your eyes, alone in the crowd
(of unscrupulous minds)
open your eyes, break the cycle
open your eyes, open your mind

hours turn into days of endless struggle
on the road to nowhere
what was once clear, now distant shadow
why?! effort alone is not enough
to stop the tide from washing you away...
fie goes on
to the road to hell,
to rest, after life in pain
