My image in the mirror
Is taking hold of me
Numbers on the scale
Don’t reflect what I can see
Starvation is my one defense
Destroying all that I have left

My heart is numb
My soul grows hollow
Walking down a path
No one dares to follow
Pain and anger in control
Fear motivates all I know

I am not alone of this I am sure
Demons dwelling inside are at every turn
The darkness behind leafless trees
And the coldest winter knows what I’ve seen
Close my eyes and take a long breath
Dreams more painful then even death

The image in the mirror
Reminding me of you
Wounds you inflicted
There was nothing I could do
Swallowed emotion held in tight
Trickling out in the middle of the night

Heart beats are just agony
The past is living inside
I’m running away with
No places left to hide
Conspiring to destroy what was meant to be mine
Healing these wounds doesn’t leave me any time

I am not alone of this I am sure
Demons dwelling inside at every single turn
The darkness behind leafless trees
And the coldest winter knows what I have seen
Close my eyes and take a longer breath
Dreams still more painful than even death

My tongue is so bitter
With the taste of you
My stomach still full
Of what you put me through
Spending my future trying to get out of this hell
Now dealing with my yesterdays, I am not well

The image in the mirror
Made all the worse by you
Roses you inflicted leave
Scars showing through
Bottled up emotion kept out of the light
Screaming out ugly noise in the quite of the night

I am not alone, there are demons inside of me
I am not alone, there are demons inside of me
There is no room for them in me
Leafless trees and the coldest winter will not go
Because they see
The demons inside of me
