Mirrors

I saw your ghost in my reflection

I saw a darkness in my heart

I saw a shred of hope

I saw the world tear it apart

Our world is cold and empty

I saw your ghost in my reflection

I saw a darkness in my heart

I saw a shred of hope

I saw the world tear it apart

I try and piece together

The parts of me that I want the world to see

But the mirror stares back

Ever black

Reminding me

Our world is cold and empty

I saw you slip

Into shallow pools of blood and blue

Servants of dark desire

Find shelter in needle and fire

I starve the demons

But you still feed them

Another rush to the vein

In a lust to escape each ripple of pain

Tiny angels

In tiny hells

Contradictions

I know so well

Torment

When you can't move forward

Sinking slower then the mind breaks

Another casket lowered that I can't take

Sober

Carry your cross through lonely winters

My curse my fate my ghost

Beside me she whimpers

Our world is cold and f*cking empty

An endless cycle of suffering

The pain has never f*cking left me

Into the mirror ever black I see

Tiny angels

In tiny hells

Contradictions

I know so well

I saw your ghost in my reflection

I saw a darkness in my heart

I saw a shred of hope

I saw the world tear it apart

I try and piece together

The parts of me that I want the world to see

But the mirror stares back

Ever black

Reminding me

Our world is cold and empty

My curse

My fate

My ghost

I'd die before I let you go

My curse

My fate

My ghost

I'd die before it lets me go

Let me go

Let me go
