lyrics

Behind the mirror hides the shadow of the boy that never lived.
Estranged, he holds tight his pillow, his whole life he’s been deceived.
He cries but no one can hear him!
In his darkest hours instead of soothing words the voice of his guardian lashed out at him.
No place to hide from horrors, no shelter from the harm, even his mind wasn’t safe for him.
Didn’t matter what he did, didn’t matter what he said, his words were always used against him.

The sweet release of death, somewhere to be at peace, felt like the only way out for him.
He cries but no one can hear him!
Even after he tried to take his own life no one believed him!

Miserable, unworthy, broken, empty, he just wanted to scream!
Insidious emotions were building up, he just wanted to get out of his skin!
Resorting to self-harm to cover the pain inside, watch the blood flow down the arm like a stream.
Releasing all the horrors that we kept inside for so long and we’re fading away like our hopes and dreams.
Only he knows how damaged and beyond repair we are, watch the blood flow down the arm like a stream.
Regrets eating me alive every day because that boy behind the mirror will always live inside me…
