Reflections

I'll describe it to you again:
A rattling sound with no start and no end
No matter where I go, it never fades
Never stops, never leaves me be

The beat of a hideous heart's haunting me

Louder and louder that banging comes through
Oh, it beckons to me no matter what I do
I can't live like this, I don't know what I'd do
'Cause what if the words that it screams are all true?

I'll describe it to you again:
A voice just like mine but refracted and grim
No matter what I do, it never fades
Never stops, never leaves me be

An echo who only knows of suffering

I've survived on my own this long
Who are they to tell me that something is wrong?
I'm far too scared to listen, so I'll pretend
That you mean nothing to me

It's too hard to reconcile your life with me

I am real and you are not
I am real and you are not
I am real and you are not
I am real and you are not

I am you: you fight but it's true
Lived as one but broken in two
I'm alone, please let me inside
I've knocked for years but you run and hide

Years spent alone and the life that I knew
All the agony that I endured for us too
I can't live like this, I don't know what to do
'Cause I woke to find you've abandoned me too
