Hello, Mirror - so glad to see you my friend, it's been a while |
|
Searching, Fearless - where do I begin to heal this wound of self-denial |
|
Face yourself man! |
|
Brace yourself and trace your hell back |
|
You've been blinded, living lie a one way cold existence all the while |
|
Now it's time to stare the problem right between the eyes you long lost child |
|
I wanna feel your body breaking |
|
Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking and left in the cold |
|
I want to heal your conscience making a change to fix this dying soul |
|
This dying soul |
|
This dying soul |
|
Born into this world a broken home |
|
Surrounded by love yet all alone |
|
Forced into a life that's split in two |
|
A mother and a father both pulling you |
|
Then you had to deal with loss and death |
|
Everybody thinking they know best |
|
Coping with this shit at such an age |
|
Can only fill a kid with pain and rage |
|
Family disease pumped through your blood |
|
Never had the chance you thought you could |
|
Running all the while with no escape |
|
Turning all that pain in to blame and hate |
|
Living on your own by twenty one |
|
Not a single care and having fun |
|
Consuming all the life in front of you |
|
Burning out the fuse and smoking the residue |
|
Possessive obsessions selfish childish games |
|
Vengeful resentments |
|
Passing all the blame |
|
Living out a life of decadence |
|
Acing without thought of consequence |
|
Spreading all your lies from coast to coast |
|
While spitting on the ones that matter most |
|
Running power mad with no control |
|
Fighting for the credit they once stole |
|
No one can ever tell you what to do |
|
Ruling other's lives while the can't stand the thought of you |
|
A living reflection seen from miles away |
|
A hopeless affliction having run astray |
|
I wanna feel your body breaking |
|
Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking and left in the cold |
|
I want to heal your conscience making a change to fix this dying soul |
|
This dying soul |
|
This dying soul |
|
Now that you can see all you have done |
|
It's time to take that step into the kingdom |
|
All your sins will only make you strong |
|
And help you break right through the prison wall |
|
Come to me my friend (Listen to me) |
|
I'll help this torture end (Help to set me free) |
|
Let your ego go (I can't carry this load) |
|
You can't go through this alone (I feel so hopeless and exposed) |
|
You'll find your peace of mind (Give me some direction) |
|
You can no longer hide (Break out of this isolation) |
|
Let humility (Openness, honesty) |
|
And become what you can be (A healing tranquility) |
|
Help me |
|
Save me |
|
Heal me |
|
I can't break out of this prison all alone |
|
These tormenting ghosts of yesterday |
|
Will vanish when exposed |
|
You can't hold onto your secrets |
|
They'll only send you back alone |
|
Your fearless admissions |
|
Will help expel your destructive obsessions |
|
With my help I know you can |
|
Be at one with God and man |
|
Hear me |
|
Believe me |
|
Take me |
|
I'm ready to break right through this prison wall |
|
Dedicated to Bill W. and all of his friends |
