Reflection

Hand over heart

As I try to breathe away the scars

Cutting into me like a knife

The enemy

Is someone anyone can see

And she wants to take my life

Won't stop at anger

Won't stop at screaming into the night

She thirsts for danger

She thirsts for blood dripping from the knife

Sometimes she who stares back at me

Sees me clearer than I can see myself

But why is my reflection

So bent on spilling lies

Like it tries so hard to waste my life

Feet underground

I'm moving but I'm losing ground

To the flaws that eat me alive

The enemy

Is back and taking hold of me

She's not afraid to use the knife

Won't stop at hurting

Won't stop at staring at my broken skin

She thirsts for bleeding

She thirsts for pain to end the pain I am in

Sometimes she who stares back at me

See me clearer than I can see myself

But now my reflection

Is bent on spilling lies

Like its bent on wasting my life

I'm bleeding out

In more ways that one

And by the time

I realize just what I've done

She's already laughing

'Cause she's already won

By the blood on the blade of the knife

Sometimes she who stares back at me

Sees me clearer than I can see myself

But now my reflection

Is bent on telling lies

Like it tries to make me waste my life

Don't let her win

Hand over heart

Time to begin

Letting time heal the scars

I'll keep my skin

Holding all my blood within

This time

I'm holding onto to life

This time

I'm holding onto life
