As I gaze into the mirror
I see a man draped in agony
As if I'm wearing the mask of a stranger
Corrosion of the heart is setting in
Bitterness has become my only friend
My will to live drains upon my feet
This fragile state of mind is too familiar
This rotting pain swells within
Seeking comfort in shadows
In these arms only suffering blooms
Voices like the whispers of ghosts
Torture me from inside
Reaching out to the door for escape
The handle turns to ash in my hands
This empty room lies before me
Forever locked in this venomous mind
Caught in an embrace with misery
A soulless cold washing over me
It feels as if I'm bound to this
Fettered at the wrists by restlessness
Is this to be my punishment
To lead myself astray
I am the one who wandered and now I am lost
Bury me beneath the sands of time
Each breath feels like an eternity
Buried by sorrow as the light fades away
I've become reclusive, bitter, and empty
Trapped by my dark half
Caught in an embrace with misery
A soulless cold washing over me
It feels as if I'm bound to this
Fettered at the wrists by restlessness
Is this to be my punishment
To lead myself astray
I am the one who wandered and now I am lost
Reaching out to the door for escape
The handle turns to ash in my hands
This empty room lies before me
Forever locked in this venomous mind
