Every time I see myself in the mirror
The reflection isn't me

Every time I see the reflection
It tears me deep inside
Voices soaring to get free out of these makeups

Every time it hurts deep inside to realise this ain't gonna change
Life is tough when you are not being yourself

I haven’t been truly “fine” in a long time
I’ve mastered the art of smiling
And crying when no ones around
But the mask I so carefully crafted is slowly chipping away
I’m starting to stumble over the steps in this play I put on everyday
Maybe it’s time to let the world see what happens when the curtains close and the performance ends
This piece kinda goes with my other one called Steps
Do I talk too much?
I'm sorry... You're the first person to ever listen...

But one thing that wasn't understood
A sacred blind secret known by everyone
There is a certain beauty in being a mystery and there is a certain charm in having your hands tied to the past
The satisfaction of putting a blindfold on someone with a changed image of yourself
Yet the immediate despair you sink in as you realize you were the one with the blindfold on
Your wings are gone and as you are falling,your tears become crystals of ice
The wish to stop the time in frozen bits and watch it burn later on
fades in thin air as your oh-so-pure soul becomes nothing but a dungeon of lies as fragile as a snowflake yet protected by your forever changing mask
And so,you became a mystery.

They scream in their head,
Unending tears upon their bed.
They fight a battle no one knows about,
So they keep the pain and shout.
The world is made of other people
if you only see things from your perspective
you're missing the whole world
