Open Your Mind

How come there's so many people willing to suffer?So they get up and suffer every dayThey think they were put on this Earth to sufferAnd, by God, they're going to sufferUntil they suffer their lives awayHow come so many are willing to sayThere is no senseThere is no planYet they will not believe the ancient mysteriesPassed down through time into their handsIf my choice is despair or wonderOn the line between truth and beliefDo I just let the tide take me underOr do I let the fascination come onAnd rain on over meOpen your mindyou have been blindImagine the answersor questions will be all you findOpen your mindThe grooves in my life were unforgivingOver the years I laid them down night after nightWork eat sleepWork eat sleepWork eat sleepWork eat sleepWork eat sleepWork eat sleepSuffocating my delightI was dragged into the lightInto the stillnessInto the white hot flame of my deepest fearsAnd as I came crashing throughHumbled and trueI was better than I'd been in yearsIf my choice is end or beginningIn my perception between death and lightI'll keep on with this message I'm sendingWe may not know how or whenBut don't you want to know why?
