Stranger in the Mirror

A fire that's burning, it catches on my soul

Crawling inside like there's no one home

The raging flames around me

Breathe it in, I let it consume me

I told myself I wouldn't become this

Active in the problems I so tried to avoid

An outline of the person that I once was

A shadow moving closer

I just can't seem to find the answer

The stranger in the mirror is smothering me

Grabbing hold of what I want to believe

Pull me out, pull me out

Or let me drown, let me drown

All my darkest fears are laid out one by one

A victim of my mind and it's only just begun

It's creeps up on you, it drags you down

I won't let it wear this hollow crown

It's not fiction anymore, it's so very real

The black dog, it comes, it hunts, it follows you

We run from our problems like there's no tomorrow

Our reckless minds are so tainted in sorrow

The stranger in the mirror is smothering me

Grabbing hold of what I want to believe

Pull me out, pull me out

Or let me drown, let me drown

The stranger in the mirror is smothering me

Grabbing hold of what I want to believe

Pull me out, pull me out

Or let me drown, let me drown
