No Way Out

 
I’ve been screaming at the glass all night,
But it only stares, it never fights.
Who am I? What have I become?
A shadow left of someone numb.
I reach, I claw, I beg, I burn—
But you just twist, you never turn.

If I break the glass, will I feel the pain?
Or am I nothing, just a stain?

Tear me down, I’m begging you,
Show me the truth I never knew.
Am I the curse? Am I the sin?
Or just the cage I’m trapped within?
I’m falling fast, there’s no way out—
Tear me down, erase the doubt.

I can’t stand this endless game,
Chasing a face I cannot name.
Is it your fault, or is it mine?
Who’s the liar, who’s divine?
I gave you all, but you won’t break,
I am the wound, and you’re the ache.

If I shatter you, will I shatter too?
Or is this hell where we both grew?

Tear me down, I’m begging you,
Show me the truth I never knew.
Am I the curse? Am I the sin?
Or just the cage I’m trapped within?
I’m falling fast, there’s no way out—
Tear me down, erase the doubt.

This isn’t a prayer; it’s a curse.
I am the hunger; you are the thirst.
I tried to hold you, tried to heal,
But now I don’t know what is real.
If I bleed, will you finally smile?
Or leave me choking all the while?

Tear me down, I don’t belong,
I’ve been broken all along.
Am I the ghost? Am I the dream?
Or just the space between the seams?
I’m nothing now, just hollow sound—
Tear me down, let me hit the ground.

This is the end, or so it seems,
A quiet death, a violent dream.
I lift my hands; I let them fall—
No way out of this at all.
The glass is cracked, the mirror screams,
And I’m still lost inside the dream.
