In This Mirror
In this mirror
A timid reflection gazes
Long nights and quick times
Memories patched in hazes
Mistakes without reason
Are lining on my face
I'm everyone's let down
A giant disgrace

These demons so haunting

A fast fix to ones problems
Is as good as living them

Still Happy
Go ahead and break my heart
It won’t mend, but you’ll still be happy
Tear it out and rip it apart

I don’t know what to do anymore
I can’t find a remedy; my wounds just will not heal

Of your daughter's favorite show
But because the man stays in shape
He's far more than a hero
He's a millionaire
But he took another's life
And he can hit the highest notes
While cheating on his wife
