Deterioration

Deterioration

Smash the mirror of who I used to be

Because the reflection is not who I am

And the scars on my wrists are not my own

Sacrificial parts of myself, dedicated to you

I wonder through the blood-stained nightmare

Looking for someone to turn and run to

Someone who will protect me from myself

But each time I run down the endless corridor

I needed someone who would listen

Someone who would trust me

Somehow, I prayed the world to stop

So I could just get away from it all

But now I realize the world is empty

Scattered truths like my thoughts on the sidewalk

And because I opened up to someone

I ended up hurting myself

So smash the mirrors of my past life

I want to start over somewhere new

Find someone who will be there for me

During the lonely walk through my mind
