If you look into the mirror and open your eyes
you'll see each day your smile dies
cause with each day you begin to see
that life isn't what its meant to be
we're killing and cheating, lying and stealing
cursing, drinking, smoking, beating
if this was what life was intended to be
we'd all have black wings on the back of thee
If life were meant to be this way
the world would be black and the trees wouldn't sway
the wind would not caress our cheeks
we wouldn't have duties throughout each week
but here we are, killing our souls
partying, mating, diminishing what's whole
we have to much fun poisoning our skins
although we understand its the only one we live in
maybe if we could open our eyes
so many innocent people wouldn't die
drunk driving, suicide, all these tragedies
should be enough for us to see
if we open our eyes to all these facts
look back and see all the wrong chosen paths
we can make our life what its meant to be
when you can look in the mirror and be happy
you'll see each day your smile dies
cause with each day you begin to see
that life isn't what its meant to be
we're killing and cheating, lying and stealing
cursing, drinking, smoking, beating
if this was what life was intended to be
we'd all have black wings on the back of thee
If life were meant to be this way
the world would be black and the trees wouldn't sway
the wind would not caress our cheeks
we wouldn't have duties throughout each week
but here we are, killing our souls
partying, mating, diminishing what's whole
we have to much fun poisoning our skins
although we understand its the only one we live in
maybe if we could open our eyes
so many innocent people wouldn't die
drunk driving, suicide, all these tragedies
should be enough for us to see
if we open our eyes to all these facts
look back and see all the wrong chosen paths
we can make our life what its meant to be
when you can look in the mirror and be happy
