who are you? who am i?
who's this person in the mirror
with a glazed look in her eyes?
eyes i can no longer recognize

where's the fire? where's the spark?
where's the light that once pierced the dark?
has it truly gone out?
or am i blinded once again?

this face looks familiar
but why does it seem strange?
i can hear myself speaking
but these words aren't mine

tell me who is this stranger
staring blankly back at me
deciding my fate
stupidly, selfishly, shamefully

without a spine, without a thought
this is a battle already lost
how could i win against you?
an enemy i cannot fathom

it's time to wake up, time to let go
time to accept what you've already known
this was always just a dream
one that could never come true
