about

This is a song about depression.

lyrics

There's a monster in the mirror,
I can't bear to brave the day.
Can't help feeling like a failure.
Can't keep living life this way!

Pulled in every wrong direction,
picked apart by my own mind.
"Give me all of your attention!"
- thought I'd left all this behind!

People use you like a drug...
they drag you down into the haze...
Find the strength/the will/the reason
to smile through your darkest days.

I've been drowning in the darkness,
there's no light that I can see.
I feel like I'm going backwards...
crawling on my hands and knees.

I'm a sucker for the sadness:
sucks the life right out of me,
takes the wind out of my sails,
takes a big bite out of me!

I admit that I'm a loser;
I've lost myself, I've lost my way!
There's a monster in the mirror...
but I can't seem to look away.
