Staring
Staring into my reflection
My reflection
Told me to trust
To follow my heart
To follow
Looking at me with disgust
Severing all connection
Severing
Til the day I depart
Kept me from the rest
You look into me
Knowing my every move
Always
I would have never guessed
This is who I’m meant to be
You sound just like me
You’re not on my side
You’re choking me out
You don’t want me free
Turning me inside out
Every word that you say
Keeps me further away
She lives in my head
Every word that you’ve said
If I’m losing control
Was it her all along?
You tell me they’re watching
They see me
So don’t let them in
You turn every maybe into what could of been
You sharpen my thoughts till they make me bleed
Bleed
Then hand me the pieces and tell me it’s what I need
What I need
You’re getting louder
You won’t shut the hell up
Keep saying I’m just a fuck up
You sound just like me
I hear you clearer when I’m alone
All alone
You couldn’t wait til I had grown
All the hate you’ve shown
Every choice that I make
I face the consequences
Like I’m scared of what’ll happen,
If I don’t listen to you
My reflection stares back at me
She knows what I’m thinking
Bring me back to reality
I’m already sinking
Sinking
She knows what’s best
When I refuse to obey
I feel a pressure in my chest
Why won’t she go the fuck away?
You sound just like me
You won’t let me out
Let me out
Your voice echoes like empty halls
You show no mercy
No mercy
I don’t doubt
I answer upon your calls
I have no choice
No choice
If I don’t reply
You take away my voice
Let me go
Release me
You demand for control
Then swallow me whole
I can’t tell where you end or where I begin
I try to reason but you won’t let me in
You know every secret I hide
Every time that I lied
Can’t escape, you’re already there
’Cause I gave you my voice
And now you’re everywhere
You tell me they’re fake
every smile is a lie
All lies
You taught the idea that I won’t survive
You turn every doubt into something real
Then call it protection — like that’s how I heal
Say it louder — I know what you’ll say
They don’t want you
They’ll walk away
Walk away
You repeat 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
She just lives in the dark
And waits for the night
And the worst part is
I won’t even fight
I don’t even deny it
So say 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?
