I am the gateway/
To a place you don't/
Want to acknowledge/
But your denial doesn't/
Make it not exist/

I am a broken mirror/
Held up to your face, and/
With no eyelids, we will see/
What you really are/

I am a reminder/
Of your constant failure/
And that's why you hate me/
You don't want to see yourself/

I am the knowledge/
That there is no escape/
You don't know how or when/
But it is going to get you.../
Eventually, and then/
You're gonna have to explain/
EVERYTHING/
What will you say/
When you can no longer lie?/

I am the thorn/
That came from a crown/
Stabbed you in the side, then/
Refused to come out/

I am the eye/
That looked right through you/
And knew all your secrets/
I am the shame/

I AM THE FINGER/
POINTING IN YOUR DIRECTION/
I AM THE WITNESS/
YOU HAVE NO PROTECTION/
I AM THE MESS THAT/
YOU DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH/
I AM THE PAIN THAT/
YOU CAN'T MAKE A DEAL WITH./
