In the Mirror I see I'm stained Draped in an ink cell, shelled in pain Bent over with soaking black tears Why must I live in this cloak of fear Hunched over frozen in a case of black ice Slipping and sliding over the constant fights Trapped in a fishnet of lies Choked by the chokers of cries Hidden behind a curtain of bangs Constantly licking my bloodthirsty fangs Watching from afar cloaked in shadows My ears cuffed and pierced, arrested, abused, and exposed Eyes painted in Abyss' rain Wrist spiked with black frames I am a walking talking, cold night Physically Freezing, and drenched in blackness' fright Now hand me your blade, and let me begin To slice the tar that is sticking to this light within The thick, inky muck that shells and suffocates Is a monster that feels controlled and constrained You don't want me to shine, you don't want to see me bright You enjoy seeing this jewel locked up tight Won't I be broken free from the rock? Afraid my colors will attract too many thoughts? Let this angel rip her wings out from underneath your rule Let my eyes finally look up, I won't be fooled I am disgusted with this gothic disguise I'm breaking through, going into the light

In the Mirror I see I'm stained Draped in an ink cell, shelled in pain Bent over with soaking black tears Why must I live in this cloak of fear Hunched over frozen in a case of black ice Slipping and sliding over the constant fights Trapped in a fishnet of lies Choked by the chokers of cries Hidden behind a curtain of bangs Constantly licking my bloodthirsty fangs Watching from afar cloaked in shadows My ears cuffed and pierced, arrested, abused, and exposed Eyes painted in Abyss' rain Wrist spiked with black frames I am a walking talking, cold night Physically Freezing, and drenched in blackness' fright Now hand me your blade, and let me begin To slice the tar that is sticking to this light within The thick, inky muck that shells and suffocates Is a monster that feels controlled and constrained You don't want me to shine, you don't want to see me bright You enjoy seeing this jewel locked up tight Won't I be broken free from the rock? Afraid my colors will attract too many thoughts? Let this angel rip her wings out from underneath your rule Let my eyes finally look up, I won't be fooled I am disgusted with this gothic disguise I'm breaking through, going into the light
And There is NO WAY you're going to stop making it shine... Just let me out...
