A Broken Silence – Take This Mirror 1

it's like a gamble to do what's right (show us the light)
but one hand must throw that dice (trust inside)
many try to obstruct ya eyes (from the light)
but when we gone will come the time (to justify)
better get up on ya feet and run home my friend
got so many peoples but you alone again
trying to switch but you on that road again, alone again, alone again
it's a cold cold world yeah i know the trends
we lose sight of on what we should be focusing
and wonder why the walls be closing in
slowly this what i've been noticing

do we really got to do the shit that we do (a question i consider)
should i bother with it all or be drifting through (what will effort deliver)
will the struggle be in vain to bring the truth (enough to change an era)
if it's hard to see where we at now, here please take this mirror

i see the beauty in the world, i'm no pessimist
is it my duty to reveal where we heading quick
trying to hold, but steady watching heaven slip
did i contribute, what am i gonna tell my kids
many caught up in the mix, trying to get by
over this whole shit, just want to, get high
many around the globe looking in deaths eyes
fed up hoping to get to the next life
but do we really know what stress is like
from this planet man we're standing on the best side
humanity the link we connect by
how much of our family we gonna, let die
do we point at governments and how they toyed with us
can't even fish in these rivers now they poisonous
we all felt the temperatures boiling up
still we ain't content, we ain't destroyed enough

do we really got to do the shit that we do (a question i consider)
should i bother with it all or be drifting through (what will effort deliver)
will the struggle be in vain to bring the truth (enough to change an era)
if it's hard to see where we at now, here please take this mirror
