I am a mirror, with no reflection
I am a razor, without my blade
I am the daylight, when the moon shines on
Who will want to make my sandcastle
That’s already made?

I feel so useless, do you?

Speak to an ear, deaf to my voice
Look through your fear, still blind to my way
I reach to hold you, but I don’t feel you there,
Do you even realise I’m here?
Am I just wasting away?
No wasting away
Living, inside you play

My dying prayer, sealed in a scream
Unwelcome, and a conscious dream
I am your whore, without a name
I climb to fall, to begin again, to begin again
I climb to fall, suffer, hatred, deceit and pain
Anger, regret, loving in vain

I am an arrow, with no direction
My life your tarot, my picture your fate
I’m your becoming, so I’ll always be nothing
If I ever break away from you
That day forth, you’ll be living my hate
Oh god help his fate
I’ll watch you, watch you suffocate
