Echoes of Loss

The world around me spins in two directions
Distant thought shatters my reflection
A picture of time wasted through the fear
Anger destroys anything that comes to near

Frozen image begging for forgiveness
Breaking the glass before turning away in silence
Can't face myself knowing the things I know now
Forgive my mistakes... the thought seems useless somehow

Echoes of loss
Watch me die right in front of you
Whatever the cost
Can't betray what was left behind

Directing the rage at my own image
Defacing the child that didn't know what was happening
Tears turn to blood ..cannot seem to kill the pain
I don't care what happened... somehow it's all in vain

Echo the loss
Watch me die right in front of you
Defending the mask
Watch the reflection fade right before your eyes

Visions of a time before
Cannot go back to the erase the past gone wrong
Crying from the inside while hiding behind this wall I've built
Nothing can bring back the things I took for granted

Echoes of loss
The reflection stained through the glass
Another tear falls
The broken heart retreats in shame
