Testo Mirror Image

I am the cure I am the curse

I witness the aftermath of my destructive ways
Vacancy has eroded me

Spiral and ruminate
Drown in thought and waste the day
Can I forgive myself how do I face the day? What is left to reclaim of me?

Look at me
Tell me what you see

All I see is a portrait of failures
The pigment never fades

How do I face the pain on my own?
Take it day by day
Or else it's too much to face
Teach me how to be brave
Give me hope

Reach
Reach for purpose in the dark
Before we die with regret
I went looking for the ghosts that caused me this pain
They looked just like me
I see a face haunting me
Living in fear, drowning in stagnancy
The cure and the curse share the very same face
Renamed by shame

Renamed by shame

How do I reconcile this?
Is this pain a burden I bare alone
Or a lesson for growth?

What do you see?

Now I see a man
I see a mirror image
I see a ghost
A lesson learned from the pain
That never took my name

Remember my name
