This Dying Soul

Hello, mirror

So glad to see you, my friend

It's been a while

Searching fearless

Where do I begin to heal this wound

Of self-denial?

Face yourself, man

Brace yourself, man

Trace your hell back

You've been blinded

Living life a one way

Cold existence all the while

Now it's time to

Stare the problem right between the eyes

You long lost child

I wanna feel your body breaking

Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking

And left in the cold

I wanna heal your conscience, making

A change to fix this dying soul

This dying soul

This dying soul

Born into this world, a broken home

Surrounded not, yet all alone

Forced into a life that's split in two

A mother and a father both pulling you

Then you had to deal with loss and death

Everybody thinkin' they know best

Coping with this shit at such an age

Can only fill a kid with pain and rage

Family disease pumped through your blood

Never had the chance you thought you could

Runnin' all the while with no escape

Turnin' all that pain and blame to hate

Living on your own at twenty-one

Not a single care and havin' fun

Consumin' all the life in front of you

Burning out the fuse and smoking the residue

Possessive obsessions

Selfish, childish games

Vengeful resentments

Passing all the blame

Living out a life of decadence

Acting with no thought or consequence

Spreading all your lies from coast to coast

Spitting on the ones that matter most

Running power mad with no control

Fighting for the credit they once stole

No one can ever tell you what to do

Ruling other lives while they can't stand the thought of you

A living reflection

Seen from miles away

A hopeless affliction

Have run astray

I wanna feel your body breaking

Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking

And left in the cold

I wanna heal your conscience, making

A change to fix this dying soul

This dying soul

This dying soul

Now that you can see all you have done

It's time to take that step into the kingdom

All your sins will only make you strong

And help you break right through the prison wall

Come to me, my friend (Listen to me)

I'll help this torture end (Help to set me free)

Let your ego go (Can't carry this load)

You can't go through this alone (I feel so hopeless and exposed)

You'll find your peace of mind (I need some direction)

You can no longer hide (Break out of this isolation)

Let humility (Openness, honesty)

And become what you can be (A healing tranquility)

Help me

Save me

Heal me

I can't break out of this prison all alone

These tormenting ghosts of yesterday

Will vanish when exposed

You can't hold on to your secrets

They'll only send you back alone

Your fearless admissions

Will help you expel your destructive obsessions

With my help, I know you can

Be at one with God and man

Hear me

Believe me

Take me

I'm ready to break through this prison wall
