[iv. reflections of reality (revisited)]
Hello, mirror - so glad to see you my friend, itand'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.
Youand've been
blinded,
living lie a one way
cold existence,
all the while.
now itand'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.
[spoken]
born into this world a broken home
surrounded by love yet all alone
forced into a life thatand'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.
[spoken]
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 otherand's lives while the canand'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.
Now that you can see
all you have done,
itand'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.
[v. release]
Come to me my friend
(listen to me)
iand'll help this torture end
(help to set me free)
let your ego go
(i canand't carry this load)
you canand't go through this alone
(i feel so hopeless and exposed)
youand'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 canand't break out of this prison all alone.
[spoken]
these tormenting ghosts of yesterday,
will vanish when exposed.
you canand't hold onto your secrets,
theyand'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,
iand'm ready to break right through this prison wall.
