Reality Check
I see you build your walls, you're just like the rest
Maybe you should take a reality check
If you can't do that
Just open up your eyes
Climb the highest hills
Go higher than the skies
<Bridge>
And take a look at the world today
Don't be scared, don't look away
Take a look, tell me if you see
Just how harsh this life can be...
<Chorus>
You can't ignore the truth
When it stares you in the eye
Don't try to run away
You know you can't hide
Open up your ignorant mind
And let the facts of life inside
Just you watch how deep you bury your head
'Coz one day soon you could wake up dead
I'll bring you back
From your fantasy
Show you just how hard
Life can be
<Bridge>
Take a look at the world today
Don't be scared, don't look away
Take a look, tell me if you see
Just how harsh this life can be...
<Chorus>
You can't ignore the truth
When it stares you in the eye
Don't try to run away
You know you can't hide
Open up your ignorant mind
And let the facts of life inside
We live in a world of hopeful denial
Blinded by dreams
Losing touch with our senses
Open up your eyes to the truth
<Bridge>
And take a look at the world today
Don't be scared, don't look away
Take a look, tell me if you see
Just how harsh this life can be...
<Chorus>
You can't ignore the truth
When it stares you in the eye
Don't try to run away
You know you can't hide
Open up your ignorant mind
And let the facts of life inside

Author's Comments: This song is about facing up to the reality of life, and about stopping the way people are so naive and just pretend everything's fine in the world, when common sense tells us that's far from the reality of life.
