about

There were friends and family I just couldn't convince to be wary of what is really going on. They had lost their own common sense & did as they were told by people they thought they could trust. Now I can only sit by and watch as they deteriorate into a death spiral. I will always feel the guilt of not doing more to change their minds and make them see.

lyrics

Won’t you open up your eyes?
Don’t you know it’s hit or miss?
Will you ever realize?
That this is all there is, this is all there is
This is all there is

I know it’s breaking all apart
I could count the times it took
All the way into your heart
Just take another look

(Chorus)
Take another look
Take another look
It’s not some open book
Even if I tried, I’d be on the hook
To take another look

It’s time to turn a new page
Could be the last thing we ever do
You said it was all just a phase
You had to go through, I always thought you knew
That this is what I do

Will you open up your mind?
It could be the last time
Fall down, see what you’ll find
Just take another look

Take another look
Take another look
It’s not some open book
Even if I try, I’d be on the hook
To take another look, take another look
Even if I cry, it’s not to wonder why
Because I’d be on the hook
