Bloody Mess - Broken Mirror

I feel your presence
in the air that I breathe
I sense your essence
in the space around me

You’ve left me rotten to the core
Frail inside
How can I endure?
This dizzying spiral
You have left me in

I learn again
To fend for myself
Resourceful as I used to be
Now I need a little help
To see a point in making any sense

Parts of me seem to find
their way inside
Now I remember who I used to be
long before I died
And you’re the one who stripped
Me of my ways to stay sane
How blind was I to follow you?
Am I the one to blame?

Or is it that you’re like a tide
Crashing at my soul
Eroding what I was at heart
A force without control
A mindless little vermin
Drilling poison in my head
You made me feel like I was gone
You made me feel like I was dead

But I am over now
No longer gutted of myself
I see your cracks in my reflection
But the mirror stands

Now I’m alive
I have spread my wings
I am no longer
Who I used to be

What I went through
Made me a better man
Now I forget you
I know you understand

I have cut all the ties
To my previous life
I had help from nowhere
So I make myself clear

The man I was is long gone
The man I am loves no one
The ones I knew are who I fear
So I disappear

The air I breathe feels like my own
All thoughts of you are now long gone
And what used to feel like home
Is no longer here

The road ahead is all I need
And now I am free
