Unseen

Every morning I look at my reflection and question who is staring back at me
Do I choose to be bitter, spiteful, and quick to make enemies?
All my words are daggers, my tongue is poisonous
Always quick to judge and slow with forgiveness
I keep burning bridges before I finish crossing

Spiral through the free-fall and pray for solid ground
Spiral through the free-fall, I can’t find solid ground
Reaching towards the heavens, looking for a hand
A hand I’ve never seen in this darkness

Who can pull me from this darkness?
Stop the tide from drowning me, in a sea of my regret
When all hope is fleeting, the waves carry me to shore so I can start again
Fix my eyes on a new horizon, free myself from the burden of my past
And pretend who I was yesterday is gone

Each time that I claim that I’ve been reborn
The voice inside tells me that I can never change
All my words will always turn to daggers pinning me to the wall
Now I’d die just to feel

Every emotion I showed has been a clever forgery
Every memory held regret and I was dying just to feel something real
Besides the shame of feeling every choice I made hurt you

If it meant I could feel alive, I would show the world the truth
And let them take me as I am or cast me aside
At least I’d feel alive
Feel alive, or cast me aside, cast me aside
