Drowning in Mirrors - Contrition

I know you’re hiding, I need to find you

This winding path I walk is filled with ghosts

My past is standing static and the present is unclear

What’s to come is undefined

You’re my insanity, my guilt and my plague

I believe in the myth that surrounds you

Your wild nature slips, reveal your masterpiece

A forsaken body, reject the pain that embraces you

I’m drowning in a sea of mirrors

Reflecting my minds eye

Deception is a skill I master

Changing my skin, your perception

Sketches drawn, revealing life

Bury my past, open my eyes

The canvas paints itself, retells my story now

It’s like I’m missing something

The night explodes as the scars inside of me

Burn so bright for you to see

Should I look outwards, am I deceiving myself?

Did false hope lead me down this road?

If mirrors face me, will I see you, or will I find you in the deep?

Looking outwards, deceived myself

False hopes led me here

Can I find you here, or in the deep?
