It’s him
Watching my reflection
Was told to be a man
Oh, be a man
To not change direction
Looking at me with distaste
Forcing me to isolate
Dismissing the struggles I faced
Kept me from myself
You stare into me
Nothing to fear but fear itself
Predicting my every move
I would have never known
I know he didn’t approve
This is what he forced me to be
Forced me to be
You look just like me
You’re not on my side
You’re choking me out
Your rules, I must abide
I feel you suffocating me
You don’t want me here
Turning me into something
This rage will set me free
He lives in my head
Every lie that you spread
If I’m losing my mind
Was it him all along?
You tell me they’re listening
So don’t let them hear you
You turn every hope I have, into fear
Into fear
You say that it’s you that I need
Then throw me the pieces and tell me how to bleed
BLEED
You’re getting louder
You won’t shut the fuck up
Keep saying I’ll never be enough
I’ll never be enough
You look just like me
I see you, only when I’m alone
All alone
Every brick & every stone
All the hate that you’ve shown
Every choice that I make
To right my wrongs
Like I’m scared of what’ll happen
If this disease is prolonged
This disease
My reflection smirks at me
Oh, It’s like he knows what I’m thinking
He knows I don’t have control
No control
He knows how to twist my words
Twisting
When I refuse to do what he says
I feel the end of a barrel against my head
If I don’t listen, I’m as good as dead
I’m dead
Why won’t he stay the fuck away?
You look just like me
You won’t let me out
Your voice burns through my soul
You show no mercy
No fucking mercy
I don’t doubt
I answer upon your calls
I have no choice
If I don’t abide by your rules
You make me plead like a fool
Plead like a fool
Let me go
Release me
You demand for control
Then swallow me whole
Swallow me whole
I can’t tell where you end or where I begin
I try to hide but you find me within
You know the hate I feel inside
Every time that I lied
Can’t escape, you’re always there
’Cause you stole my voice
And now you’re fucking everywhere
You never give, you always take
But you’re there waiting for me to break
Waiting in the dark
You turn my anger into something real
Then call it power — like that’s how I feel
Scream it louder — I know what you’ll say
They fucking don’t want you
They’ll walk away
Walk the fuck away
You scream it, over & over again
Till it burrows so deep that I call it a friend
You don’t need chains
You don’t need a fight
He just lives in the dark
And wait for the night
And the worst part is
I won’t even fight
I don’t even deny it
So yell it again…
Tell me what to believe
If you’re not really me…
What did I become?
And if I’m not real
What did you become?
