Haunted reflection

(Verse 1)

Cracked mirror, staring back, a stranger I despise,

Haunted by the choices, reflected in my eyes.

Another day is dawning, but the darkness still remains,

Aching in my bones, a symphony of pains.

(Chorus)

I hate myself for this, the monster I've become,

Chasing fleeting shadows, beneath the setting sun.

A prisoner of cravings, a slave to the desire,

Burning bridges daily in this self-destructive fire.

(Verse 2)

Promises like ashes, scattered in the wind,

A hollow echo whispers of where do I begin?

Each dawn a new resolve, by dusk, a broken vow,

Lost in the labyrinth, I don't know how.

(Chorus)

I hate myself for this, the monster I've become,

Chasing fleeting shadows, beneath the setting sun.

A prisoner of cravings, a slave to the desire,

Burning bridges daily in this self-destructive fire.

(Bridge)

Is there redemption waiting, beyond this shadowed door?

A chance to reclaim the life I can't afford to ignore?

Or am I destined to repeat this tragic play,

Fading into nothingness, with each passing day?

(Chorus)

I hate myself for this, the monster I've become,

Chasing fleeting shadows, beneath the setting sun.

A prisoner of cravings, a slave to the desire,

Burning bridges daily in this self-destructive fire.

(Outro)

I hate myself, I hate myself, but hate won't set me free,

I need to find a glimmer of hope for me.
