Wipe the mirror of old reflections, as it cracks at the sight of a new Ugly memories of beautiful things Wondering how this will end Abandon and relinquish my consciousness Has the every-day taken my color away? For years I have lived the same day All of these faces and withered souls are as vacant as I feel All I see in the world is self-hatred All I see is self-hatred Am I just seeing you, or am I projecting the inward? Now I see, everything, known to be, with empathy As the light fades, distress relays memories Emotions are fading until my senses grow dim I choose to keep myself, for I am what I have made I will be forever waiting to feel the sun on my face And I will wait forever So grow away from the lifetime You’ve spent becoming this And just learn to breathe How will we end? First we must begin Leave this behind, turn away Every moment fleeting, lie awake Our final moments Lie awake, lives in vain
