Mirror
I take you by the hand
 And lead you down a path
 The path is vapid mirrors
 The mirrors are your past
 The mirrors begin to shatter
 We’re dripping thick with blood
 
 Welcome to the show
 Please take a seat
 Is this reality?
 Or just another dream
 
 Interrogated by the angels
 About the life you led
 Stuck behind these gates of gold
 Her defiant self left back in time
 
 We lay awake at night
 Our disillusioned fantasy
 A dissection of the life you once led
 And now you say “I just can’t take this anymore”
 
 A folded note and broken mirror
 A towel stained with red
 Her emotions in a tangle
 The room begins to swirl
 You were mother’s perfect angel
 And daddy’s little girl
 Now they’re just despondent
 As they clutch your wrinkled photo
 Mother’s cheeks are streaked from crying
 As her little girl lies dying
 
 The angels’ kicked you out
 Your distressed soul went underground
 The mirror past has shattered
 You’re the devil’s servant now 
 
 You begin to regret your actions
 Finally realize you were too hasty
 But as she tries to turn around
 She’s told “there is no going back”
 
 You’re stuck here in this nightmare of fabricated dreams
 You chose this escape, this is not a dream
