Self In Distorted Glass

I think you never liked me
I think you never trusted me
My reflection once spoke out loud
I think you never showed me
That you belong to yourself
Trying to live someone else's life
I think you never wanted
No matter where you wandered
Never came to terms with who you are

In the realm of the dying light
We become silent stars
Watching us from the distance
Without faith in what's to come

What if you could long for another day
With no more shutting out the Sun
What if you could long for another day
And finally let yourself in

I think you always wanted
To sever ties with those who
Bit by bit devoured you alive
And your true self started
To slowly fade in silence
Until it was too late to turn back

In the realm of the dying light
We become silent stars
Watching us from the distance
Without faith in what's to come

And so I stand before
The remnant of myself
Reflected less and less
In the distorted glass
When the fire
Swallows the world outside
Unveiling its cry

I think you never liked me
I think you never trusted me
My reflection once spoke out loud
I think you never showed me
That you belong to yourself
Only looked at me with lifeless eyes
I think it's time to face it
The absence of embracing
What is truly you, can win this war

And so I stand before
The remnant of myself
That keeps trying and trying to escape
From what's broken
But every time I find myself standing here
It's because I chose to return
To the world under unsun
To this life
Again
