Have you ever walked through this life
just asking what it's for?
Have you ever spent your time alone
knowing you'll never knock on Heaven's door?
Have you ever made a mistake
but didn't realize until it was done?
Have you ever prayed to burst in flames
with the intensity of the sun?
Have you ever noticed you don't know
what you have until its gone?
Have you ever been so depressed that life
just seems way too long?
Have you ever hurt the ones you love
and never really know why?
Have you ever been hurt by the on you love
and spent your night trying not to cry?
Have you ever been backed to the wall
by the one you dont wanna fight?
Have you ever known betrayal,
or felt its horrid bite?
Have you ever felt the rage so strong
you could kill?
Have you ever felt love...
do you feel it still?
Ive been down these roads
many times before.
And always find myself asking
"Where is this Heaven's door?"
I've searched for salvation
and only found Hell
Ive been through the fire
with the promise that itll all end well.
So before I die and in my grave
lie asleep now and forever
Answer me that simple question,
"Have you ever?"
Can you see the pain in my eyes?
The pain that comes from a life of lies?
Do you see the paths that I've walked,
And all the people I've hurt when I talked?
Do you hate me for the hate that you see?
Or hate me because I cant be what you want me to be?
Because I don't live my life the way you'd expect?
Or because I believe you must earn my respect?
Or is it just that you fear what you could never understand?
So instead of trying, you mark me with an evil brand.
I look at you and I despise what I see.
Your hypocritical ways of how everyone should be.
I see the fear that you've lost control,
Over the children you'd hoped would follow your mold.
So look at me and see your fears come true.
Look at me and the future of you.
My pains I've kept secret too many times.
And I swear I'll release them before my funeral chimes.
But until then you can live in your dreams
That you control me and hold all of my strings
But soon you will be faced with you own lifes lies.
And your pain I will see when you look in my eyes.
