House of Mirrors

Sometimes it's hard, for me to see
Who I really want to be.
When I look in that mirror,
all I can see is my reflection
staring coldly back at me.

Inside this house of mirrors,
I see a thousand reflections of me.
Among them all,
no reflection shows who I really want to be.

Among the shattered glass,
lie my broken dreams.
The halls echo
filled with empty screams.

Look inside me,
look beyond these selfish tears.
This is the real me,
inside this house of mirrors.

As I drop to my knees,
the world spins around me.
I'm so much more
than what I let the world see.

Come here close,
let me whisper in your ear.
Secrets.
Because there are none,
inside this house of mirrors.

You're my greatest obsession
and my greatest fear.
My heart beats cold,
inside this house of mirrors.

Finding my strength,
overcoming my fears,
help me live another day
inside this house of mirrors.

Look around,
what do you see?
Somewhere, beyond these mirrors
is the person I'm meant to be.
