[00:11.08]
[02:13.52]Hello, Mirror - so glad to see you my friend, it's been a while
[02:23.08]Searching, Fearless - where do I begin to heal this wound of self-denial
[02:31.94]
[02:32.75]Face yourself man!
[02:37.46]Brace yourself and trace your hell back
[02:41.77]
[02:42.31]You've been blinded, living lie a one way cold existence all the while
[02:51.95]Now it's time to stare the problem right between the eyes you long lost child
[03:00.80]
[03:02.15]I wanna feel your body breaking
[03:04.80]Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking and left in the cold
[03:11.69]I want to heal your conscience making a change to fix this dying soul
[03:18.00]This dying soul
[03:21.91]
[03:27.45]This dying soul
[03:31.77]
[03:41.56]Born into this world a broken home
[03:43.07]Surrounded by love yet all alone
[03:44.60]Forced into a life that's split in two
[03:46.25]A mother and a father both pulling you
[03:47.76]
[03:47.99]Then you had to deal with loss and death
[03:49.26]Everybody thinking they know best
[03:50.90]Coping with this shit at such an age
[03:52.49]Can only fill a kid with pain and rage
[03:54.12]
[03:54.33]Family disease pumped through your blood
[03:55.66]Never had the chance you thought you could
[03:57.18]Running all the while with no escape
[03:58.86]Turning all that pain in to blame and hate
[04:00.42]
[04:00.57]Living on your own by twenty one
[04:01.89]Not a single care and having fun
[04:03.47]Consuming all the life in front of you
[04:05.01]Burning out the fuse and smoking the residue
[04:07.43]
[04:08.68]Possessive obsessions selfish childish games
[04:14.85]Vengeful resentments
[04:17.82]Passing all the blame
[04:20.77]
[04:29.63]Living out a life of decadence
[04:31.11]Acing without thought of consequence
[04:32.70]Spreading all your lies from coast to coast
[04:34.28]While spitting on the ones that matter most
[04:35.80]
[04:35.94]Running power mad with no control
[04:37.26]Fighting for the credit they once stole
[04:38.86]No one can ever tell you what to do
[04:40.41]Ruling other's lives while the can't stand the thought of you
[04:43.33]
[04:43.96]A living reflection seen from miles away
[04:50.30]A hopeless affliction having run astray
[04:57.03]
[05:05.68]I wanna feel your body breaking
[05:08.06]Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking and left in the cold
[05:15.16]I want to heal your conscience making a change to fix this dying soul
[05:21.96]This dying soul
[05:25.49]
[05:31.12]This dying soul
[05:35.15]
[05:59.66]Now that you can see all you have done
[06:07.20]It's time to take that step into the kingdom
[06:15.19]All your sins will only make you strong
[06:22.46]And help you break right through the prison wall
[06:28.83]

[07:14.92]
[07:15.61]Come to me my friend (Listen to me)
[07:18.09]I'll help this torture end (Help to set me free)
[07:21.18]Let your ego go (I can't carry this load)
[07:23.65]You can't go through this alone (I feel so hopeless and exposed)
[07:29.49]You'll find your peace of mind (Give me some direction)
[07:31.67]You can no longer hide (Break out of this isolation)
[07:35.13]Let humility (Openness, honesty)
[07:37.42]And become what you can be (A healing tranquility)
[07:42.23]
[07:45.82]Help me
[07:48.00]Save me
[07:50.53]Heal me
[07:52.76]I can't break out of this prison all alone
[07:56.29]
[08:06.15]These tormenting ghosts of yesterday
[08:08.97]Will vanish when exposed
[08:11.63]You can't hold onto your secrets
[08:14.26]They'll only send you back alone
[08:16.39]
[08:19.85]Your fearless admissions
[08:22.16]Will help expel your destructive obsessions
[08:25.72]With my help I know you can
[08:28.21]Be at one with God and man
[08:30.84]
[08:35.77]Hear me
[08:37.67]Believe me
[08:40.44]Take me
[08:42.67]I'm ready to break right through this prison wall
[08:46.03]
[10:45.85]Dedicated to Bill W. and all of his friends
