Man in the Mirror

Deep in my thoughts all I see is a warning My head in the clouds I can't get enough Between all your screams all I hear is the silence Your cries of love were lost in the dust Yeah, I was meant to do something bigger Empty bottle no liver This glass house that's down river A hearts fuse with no trigger A glimpse of the soul that's inside Can't force what you cannot hide Life's purpose without some drive A dark room with no guide Cold nights I laid on the floor So tired don't sleep anymore Life's tools without a drawer Where's purpose in hopes I restore The light at the end of the tunnel Took lumps I've been through the struggle Torn down covered in rubble Life's tough but still here I tussle Their trying to break me Their trying to take me down Yeah Well Let them hate me They'll have to shoot me down 'Cause the man in the mirror is the only one who makes it out 'Cause the man in the mirror is the only one who makes it out Their trying to break me Their trying to take me down Yeah Well Let them hate me They'll have to shoot me down 'Cause the man in the mirror is the only one who makes it out 'Cause the man in the mirror is the only one who makes it out Yeah, last night when I wrote it I said what I meant The man in the mirror only breaks his descent Adjusting my focus and the way that I speak Negativity been drowning my climbs to the peak But at 28 I've done more than most Expected the best perhaps it's provoked The deepest and darkness and demented of thoughts Sometimes when I write it, it scares and it taunts But I am aware of the light I have been gifted How far have I come while my minds been restricted We all got our demons we all been afflicted And I pray to my God at times I've been drifting And passing my mind like two ships in the night The man in the mirror he's ready to fight Yeah The man in the mirror he's ready to fight Their trying to break me Their trying to take me down Yeah Well Let them hate me They'll have to shoot me down 'Cause the man in the mirror is the only one who makes it out 'Cause the man in the mirror is the only one who makes it out Their trying to break me Their trying to take me down Yeah Well Let them hate me They'll have to shoot me down 'Cause the man in the mirror is the only one who makes it out 'Cause the man in the mirror is the only one who makes it out
