Why am I here again
Same situation that I've always been
There's no escape for me
Always tempted to fall back and sin
And it feels as if
The devil has a hold of me
Feels like his grip is at my throat
And nothing's going to set me free
And I find myself
Talking to this mirror again
Its reflection looks so brittle
Like it's going to break from all the pain
And I'll... Whisper its name
So only it can hear me
I'll lie to it again
because I know it'll believe me
I'll try to smile
And say everything's okay
Keep looking at that mirror
Pretend I'm better off than yesterday
And maybe I am
Soon I will believe it
One day I will leave it all behind
Rip this sorrow off and then just leave it
But for now, all I can do
Is keep talking to this mirror
Even though I hate myself
And just hope the current me
Would Disappear
I’ll still talk to it in whispers
So only I can hear me
Begging the devil to let go of me
And wondering
Why God just won't come near me
