What do you expect of me?
Shattering glass so easily
Look and see what is really here
Accepting another cold year
Reflected with time's cruel hand
Wistful sighs no one can understand
Do you stand until losing control?
Dreamily slip down a dark deep hole?
Long ago lost girl who held pure grace
Recalling the happier face
The fun freedom I no longer find
Youth and it's privileges sadly left behind
Then do you get why surviving is so hard?
Days so pointless I carelessly discard
And you ask me to abstain from sin
Mirrored eyesΒ reveal the hypocrite within
