Open Your Eyes

The past something we cant delete
a childhood filled with deceit
addictions the cause of our defeat
negligence a doom we repeat
becoming fixtures enclosed be concrete
the decision is yours 
whether or not the decease will be cured
do we know anything for sure 
if anything we love is pure
through tribulation will we endure
as temptations become the lure 
searching for wisdom in a pile of lies
truth its hard to find them 
you have to look through the liars disguise
the plans they do devise
is to prepare you for your demise
becoming ensnared by our on mind
assassinating those of our own kind 
to this destruction have we become blind
