Reflection

Standing here
In front of the mirror again
Doing nothing but judging myself
For things I can't change
Take a breath
Don't want to fuck things up again
Or sleep in that hospital bed
One more night

I wake up
Try to make it with a smile
But have to fake it
Everyday sounds like a grey lullaby
Trying to swim but being drowned by the tide

When I look at my reflection i only see the imperfections
When I sit down at the table my tears fall rolling down like marbles
A gaze of rejection
My own eyes are traitors
Walking afraid i might fall from this tightrope
Fighting demons in my mind 5,6,7 hundred million times (million times)
"Throw it up", "Workout till dawn", "You deserve it" can you please shut up
Have to make it to the end (i will make it i will)
So i'll try not to starve myself
When i see my reflection

In my sleep
I dream of the man I'll become
But once again its not what I see
When I wake up
Break the screen
Scrolling through perfect bodies
They're everything I want to be
But is it worth the price

I wake up (I wake up everyday)
Try to face that all my friends
I've lost them lately (I'm alone on my way)
If you're up there god just send me some help
Please let me know if the pain's gonna end

'Cause when i look at my reflection I only see the imperfections
When I sit down at the table my tears fall rolling down like marbles
A gaze of rejection
My own eyes are traitors
Walking afraid i might fall from this tightrope
Fighting demons in my mind 8,9,10,11 billion times
"What's the calories in that?"
I try but I cannot shut my mind
So damn loud inside my head
I'll try not to starve myself
When I see my reflection

When I see my reflection
When I see my reflection
When I see my reflection
I have to learn
How to love my reflection
