Staring into mirrors

I could build myself a nest and just rot here and decay,
I could write myself an ending just to die here anyway,
I could solve me an equation then just sit out in the rain,
I’ve no room for your persuasion when my life is full of pain
If I wait, wait
If I wait, wait
La dee die, la dee die, la dee die, la dee die
There’s no use staring into mirrors when the smoke is in our eyes
I can see the light before me but I can’t help take the night,
I know I’m choosing darkness and I know it isn’t right,
I can’t hold back my aggression, no-one dares to ever speak,
Falling deep in my depression haven’t slept now for a week

Feeling like they lied

My mother she warned me to leave
And now I'm feeling, feeling
Everything should be going right now you're in my life
And I've got you here
I could spend a whole lifetime trying to make my mind
A little clearer
Chasing and wasting my time
Losing and bruising my pride
Feeling like they lied gave you false hopes for your lives
Feeling like they lied gave you false hopes, false hopes
My mother she warned me to leave
And now I'm feeling, feeling
All along you have been the one that has never gone
And I've lost the fear
Sneaking round to stand my ground tired of feeling proud
And I'm lost up here
Chasing and wasting my time
Losing and bruising my pride
Feeling like they lied gave you false hopes for your lives
Feeling like they lied gave you false hopes, false hopes
My mother she warned me to leave
And now I'm feeling, feeling
Feeling like I'm losing in this game I'm giving in
My mother, she warned me
But I did not want to believe
My mother she warned me to leave
And now I'm feeling, feeling

In the distance
04:12

I try to look my best for, for where I'll be
In a few hours it's over, oh the heart inside of me
Tells me it's wrong when I'm sober
Should be on the floor keeled over
But I've got to watch myself tonight
In the distance I saw myself
Younger than now but still the same
Had the same eyes but had less wealth
But I was happy being without the fame
How could it happen just like this
News hit the doormat hard to hit me in the chest
I can hear the walls are talking
And there is failure lurking
Their whispers are so loud and hate me
In the distance I saw myself
Younger than now but still the same
Had the same eyes but had less wealth
But I was happy being without the fame
Close your damn eyes you keep peeking through
Am I worth this, and everything I do?
My distress flare just brings them in
I'm in trouble and I just, just can't win
