I am all that I see

Trapped in reflections past, condemned for my vanity

In the mirror I gazed adrift in the haze obsession that borders insanity

To cast all aside, such arrogant pride

Now suffering! Trapped within the divide

In reflections of hell I reside

Once all admired my exquisite form

For years the ego swelled and thus arrogance was born

With tongue of flame and my nose to the sky I never noticed that the gypsy had me fixed in hеr eyes

What do you offer to this world asidе from empty beauty? she sighed

"Weathered hag open your eyes and gaze upon perfection defined"

To worship yourself will lead to your end

All eminence dies as you rot within

I am all that I see

Trapped in reflections past, condemned for my vanity

In the mirror I gazed adrift in the haze obsession that borders insanity

To cast all aside, such arrogant pride

Now suffering! Trapped within the divide

In reflections of hell I reside

As I retorted her wares caught my eye

A mirror now glowing as if to reply

I stare at my reflection growing ever brighter

And cast all around me aside

I knew not of the blackness within

Nor did i see her Cheshire grin

Ever drawing me in, ever drawing me in

Beauty rots from within

Casting a curse to the sky

I remove the skin I have come to despise

I take in one last look and claw out my eyes

I am all that I see

Trapped in reflections past, condemned for my vanity

In the mirror I gazed adrift in the haze obsession that borders insanity

To cast all aside, such arrogant pride

Now suffering! Trapped within the divide

In reflections of hell I reside

To worship yourself will lead to your end

All eminence dies as you rot within
