When I look in the mirror
I see a nightmare
Looking back at me
Dark circles under my eyes
Deepening everyday
Skin getting paler
Never seeing the light of day
When I look in my eyes
I see no fire
Burning anymore
I see a ghost
Of my dreams
Looking back at me
When I look at my wrists
I see scars of my past
Opening up again
I see the blood from my veins
Looking back at me
When I look in the mirror
I see my worst nightmare
Becoming a reality
