My former self is telling me turn back
Trying to figure out what to do with knowledge I’ve been given
Cause I know I’m still lost to the fact that I am human and I make mistakes
But I continue to do what the voice in my head that calls me a ***** up
Who do I turn to when I’ve lost everything?
I look in the mirror and see a ghost
Who had a clue that the ghost in the mirror was me

This ghost in the mirror was a scarred one
Whispering dark things in your ear
Not knowing what to do, you turn to the wrong comfort
Destroying your body isn’t the answer

Repressed memories are fighting their way back to the surface
My mind is under so much pressure
I need to be reassured that this storm is almost over
Restless nights, tossing and turning
Got thoughts trying to push me pass the edge
Taking me lower and lower, I have thoughts of suicide
My eyes become shut to my underlying emotions
It’s eating me alive

This ghost in the mirror was a scarred one
Whispering dark things in your ear
Not knowing what to do, you turn to the wrong comfort
Destroying your body isn’t the answer

Dark skies is clouding my mind
Tired of feeling abandoned
Feeling like tearing myself apart
Breaking under the pressure
IS THIS MY END!!!!!?

But this ghost in the mirror was a scarred one
Whispering dark things in your ear
Not knowing what to do, you turn to the wrong comfort
Destroying your body isn’t the answer
