It took forever for me to face myself

To walk right up between the walls of my own hell

It took a long time for me to remember death

Shedding this flesh over and over

The same mistakes all over again

Scars, fear, hate, rage

This paranoid mind just playing with the matter

Vile thoughts made of concrete and steel

Time has come to heal

Breaking

All defensive patterns

Stealing pieces of my dreams

Facing

Starving monsters in the mirror

Glass is shattered from their screams

Undertows dragged me in a vicious vortex

Along with ghosts immersed in self-deception

Disappointment from outer circumstances

Chance for glancing through the ignorance veil

It took a long time for me to rebuild myself

Walking the way in layer by layer

Taking off all the armor and shields

Skin, bones, pride, lies

Self-knowledge

A path to inner transformation

In the heart there’s a sacred field

What you sow you reap

Breaking

All defensive patterns

Stealing pieces of my dreams

Facing

Starving monsters in the mirror

Glass is shattered from their screams

Words

Mean nothing to me

I am stuck

Still going nowhere
