The only thing that one may own is their soul
Self inflicted sabotage
This happiness a mirage
It's really starting to get hard for me
To clearly see, a future where I'm finally happy
I run and I run
These games are no fun
My heads spinning
I ain't winning, though, the reflection in the mirrors grinning
Can't compare to picasso but I'll paint you a picture
A love triangle was the plot where I wasn't the winner
All there really was and needed to be was love and courage
Though drugs got involved and here I am stuck with rage
Took away what I just learnt was the last piece to my final page
I'd never truly felt connected, with someone as I did with her
She gave my heart strength, made my bones strong and my stomach stir
I've tried it all, the glass pipes and the feel for the steel
Man, how I wish it wasn't real, but that's not reality
And unlike your favourite love stories this ends in tragedy
See, I had to make sure I was right, before I could heal another soul
Yet here I am lost while she's out there trying to fill an empty hole
Well all fairs in war but I'll tell you now the devil fights dirty
But don't get confused nobody goes to heaven we aren't worthy

To clearly see, a future where I'm finally happy
I run and I run
These games are no fun
My heads spinning
I ain't winning, though, the reflection in the mirrors grinning
I'm walking this path, lonely courage is all I have left
It's wrapped around my heart so no need to worry about theft
I reached a new stage, a vibration if you will, to open my third eye
When I write down what I feel so I don't have to feel what I write
The words that you read are no lie, it's a sort of release where I'm left feeling right
On my journey I found, the abyss that is me, see I sold my soul for something really cheeky
And that's when it all, made perfect sense, when the bible says, stare long enough into the abyss, and you'll find it staring back
Well I looked in the mirror, straight into my eyes, and though there was terror, I couldn't feel fear, all I found staring back were my eyes and one tear
