I WATCH PEOPLE AS THEY LIVE THEIR LIVES
FROM BUSINESS WORKERS TO HOBO'S JUST TRYING TO GET BY
I WATCH THEM AS I WONDER WHAT MY LIFE WILL BE LIKE STRUGGLING TO STAY ALIVE,
I CONSTANTLY HAVING THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE
USUALLY BUZZED OR DRUNK,
NOT WANTING TO THINK HOW I WILL END UP
I DRINK AWAY MY PAIN
I CAN BARELY STAND TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR,
AT THIS MONSTER I'VE BECAME

I WATCH, AS MOST PEOPLE LOOK HAPPY,
BUT I CANT HELP TO WONDER IF ITS ALL A MASK
I PUT ON THE SAME HAPPY LOOK, MINE SIMPLY IS A MASK
I DONT WANT PEOPLE TO SEE ME WITHOUT IT,
THEY WOULD KNOW MY LIFE IS FALLING APART
PEICE BY PEICE, ITS TEARING AT MY HEART

IM SCARED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT I WILL BECOME
I HAVE NO GOALS, NOT EVEN ONE
I DO HAVE AN OPTION
BUT DOING THIS WONT MAKE MY FAMILY PROUD
AND THIS OPTION WONT LAST,
LEAVING ME AS A HOBO
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

I LOOK AT MY MOTHER,
SHE REGRETS NOT FINISHING SCHOOL,
BUT WITH MY GRADES I WILL NEVER PASS
NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT,
GOOFING OFF WASNT SUCH A BLAST

I WATCH THE PEOPLE,
WONDERING HOW THE GOT TO WHERE THEY ARE
AND ARE THEY HAPPY OR WISH THEY FOLLOWED A DIFFERENT PATH
WHAT ABOUT THESE RICH PEOPLE,
WHO DONT LOOK APRECIATED AT ALL
THEYRE JOB IS A BLESSING,
ITS SOMETHING YOU EARN
NOT A PLACE YOU JUST FALL

AS I CONTINUE TO WATCH THESE PEOPLE,
I SEE THE HAPPIEST COUPLE,
THEY DONT HAVE MUCH
BUT ARE MUCH MORE HAPPIER THAN THESE HIGH CLASS PEOPLE
I WONDER WHY THAT IS
BUT I CAN SEE,
YOU DONT NEED A HIGH CLASS JOB OR ALOT OF MONEY
YOU SIMPLY NEED TRUE LOVE
AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY
