It starts with the unexpected loss of something dearThe warmth that comforted and cradled just disappears

And in its place, there's nothingJust an endless empty holeThe light that showed the way is goneAnd darkness takes control

Bitterness and anger are quick to fill the voidThe path to isolation is littered with the dreams that lay destroyed

The cold seems to grow in my soul, it's consuming meConfused and I'm losing myself in a storm

Growing jadedBeing pushed, being pulled, I'm unravelingCan't find myself when I'm constantly forced to conform

Enemies surround me, but the worst appear as friendsLiars and pretenders only seek to reach their endsEverything is breaking right before my eyesLooking in the mirror I see someone that I don't recognize

The joy that my heart used to know is eluding meRemoved and the one thing I feel is aloneSmiles faded and I'm spinning and sinking and weakeningFrozen and stuck too lonely, it chills to the bone

Memories escaping as my heart begins to drainSkies that cover wounds can't hide the self-inflicted painEverything my mind wants in conflict with my heartFighting back surrender, but every day I'm falling more apart

Mirror, what's this thing I see?Who is staring back at me?This stranger to my heart that's filled my lifeMirror help me, who am I?
