Ghost in the Mirror

You try to get as high as you can
Searching a way to reboot yourself
You rip the skin off your face
You break all of your bones, and you wonder
Is this all there is? There must be something beyond our vanity
Or is God just a fucking mean kid?

Miles away from my body
My mind is sailing in this lonesome sea of confusion
Years behind my own reality
I keep on failing to dodge from all the memory debris

Who's the ghost in the mirror?
Who's the hand pulling up my strings?
I can't even recognize
The dead man trapped inside my eyes

Take a goddamn look at the world
And tell me we're not supposed to get wasted man

How long can a man stand over his knees
Before this man has no legs left to stand?
Bigger cages and longer chains
We fell in love with a lie and got stuck in a coma

Who's the ghost in the mirror?
Who's the hand pulling up my strings?
I can't even recognize
The dead man trapped inside my eyes

I'd like grab the reflection by the neck
And tear it's eyes out with my bare hands
So maybe then I can get a clear view of this minefield
I want the power and control of my life back
I wanna see them drowning in their own promises
I wanna gather all my friends, all my brothers and sisters
To fly like a butterfly, to work, organize, collaborate, and sting like a bee

Break the chains, opens your eyes
Burn the cage down, open your eyes
