I look deep into the mirror to see what I can see.
But all that I can see is my reflection staring back at me.
My reflection cannot speak, cannot function, it only stares a hole.
As if looking into my brain as if searching my very soul.
As if looking into my brain as if searching my very soul.
It is as if there is a battle between me and my reflection.
A battle of good and bad, dark and light, always changing direction.
A battle of good and bad, dark and light, always changing direction.
The battle rages on I must fight the monster inside me.
Depression, anxiety, and anger eat away trying to consume me.
Depression, anxiety, and anger eat away trying to consume me.
I fight with all my might determined not to let it win.
It helps a lot to have a friend like you on whom I can depend.
It helps a lot to have a friend like you on whom I can depend.
When I come unglued and then I slowly start to slip.
You hold out your steady hand and help me get a grip.
You hold out your steady hand and help me get a grip.
The monster lives within it is desperate to break loose.
Choking out the life in me like a hangmans noose.
Choking out the life in me like a hangmans noose.
I know it is a sin at times I feel I can never win.
At times I'd rather die and kill the monster within.
At times I'd rather die and kill the monster within.
I feel like I'm trapoed in a jail trying to contain it.
As it eats away my very soul leaving an empty pit.
As it eats away my very soul leaving an empty pit.
At times I wallow in my sorrow not looking forward to tomorrow.
That's why I need a friend like you with a helping hand i can borrow.
That's why I need a friend like you with a helping hand i can borrow.
You help me find the strength I need to buckle down and pull through.
Help me to carry on when I am weak and have done all that I can do.
Help me to carry on when I am weak and have done all that I can do.
I look forward to the day when my monster goes away.
Though at times I fear it never will I think its here to stay.
Though at times I fear it never will I think its here to stay.
At times my tears flow and the thoughts are wrong I know.
But I don't know what to do I don't know where to go.
But I don't know what to do I don't know where to go.
Why am I telling you all this and sharing it with you I'm not quite sure.
You're my friend to the end but I know its not something you can cure.
You're my friend to the end but I know its not something you can cure.
And so the battle rages on there is no end in sight.
So I stay close to fdiends like you and fight with all my might.
So I stay close to fdiends like you and fight with all my might.
I try to force it to silence and bury it within my mind.
As it struggles to rise again determined my soul to bind.
As it struggles to rise again determined my soul to bind.
The battle I have won but its a constant war with which I must cope.
But shimmering far ahead in the distance is a faint glimmer of hope.
But shimmering far ahead in the distance is a faint glimmer of hope.
That one day my monster will give up and it will set me free.
That I may live my life my way and be the best that I can be.
That I may live my life my way and be the best that I can be.
