Mirrors

What do you do
when the only one you have is you?
how do you live
when you cant stand yourself

i want to be someone differant
want to be someone distant
praying to God
these thoughts would disappear

how can you stand you reflection
how can you breathe
when you're afraid of what others think

mirrors, mirrors
hanging and haunting
drowning inthis ugly face

mirrors, mirrors
reflecting the one i hate
is this who i really am?
is this me in this horrible skin?
can someone save me
so tired of complaining

this glass that cuts me
is that my blood flooding the floor
my hands are shaking
but still i want more

mirrors they blind me
mirrors insight me
mirrors bring back memories
mirrors don't reflect me
