Shattered Reflections

[Verse 1: J O S H U A]
Just a college student in his room
Ready for the first day of school
Freshest outfit homie lookin’ cool
He gotta make the finest ladies drool
Can’t walk into class lookin’ a fool
Look sexy, that’s the most important rule
Wait, look at the mirror one more time before I leave
Painfully surprised by the depiction that I see
My lips look like lust, and my eyes gleam with greed
Reach out to touch my face and my bare hand begins to bleed
My facade of faith ain’t what it seems
No apologies for all the disregarded dreams
I’ve shattered the wall between thought and reality
Confused at why my reflection has ceased to follow me

[Pre-Chorus: J O S H U A]
God please mend this bent heart
Throw away every broken part
Tired of looking at someone I’m not
But I can’t change and that's because I got…

[Chorus: J O S H U A]
Shattered reflections that are hangin’ on my door
These broken pieces don’t reflect me anymore
No self esteem, no dream, I’m rotten to the core
Get this mirror of my door, get this mirror of my…
Shattered reflections that are hangin’ on my door
These broken pieces don’t reflect me anymore
No self esteem, no dream, I’m rotten to the core
Get this mirror of my door, get this mirror of my…

[Verse 2: J O S H U A]
And I can’t look my likeness in the eye
I hate who I am and so I cry
I wish this dumb reflection would just die
And God’s calling my name, I don’t reply
Frustrating the grace and I couldn’t tell you why
I’m a hypocrite, I have no joy, it’s all a lie
Maybe maybe maybe if I tried to change the game
I’d realize I’m called I’m not supposed to be the same
I’m supposed to walk but I’ve been spending life a lame
Searching through my history for someone else to blame
Oh don’t you know I hear it? Oh God, I can fear it
The battle cries of the demon fighting my spirit
Victory; I won’t declare it, keep my burden, but can’t bear it
Oh I don’t wanna hear it… I fear it

[Pre-Chorus: J O S H U A]
God please mend this bent heart
Throw away every broken part
Tired of looking at someone I’m not
But I can’t change and that's because I got…

[Chorus: J O S H U A]
Shattered reflections that are hangin’ on my door
These broken pieces don’t reflect me anymore
No self esteem, no dream, I’m rotten to the core
Get this mirror of my door, get this mirror of my…
Shattered reflections that are hangin’ on my door
These broken pieces don’t reflect me anymore
No self esteem, no dream, I’m rotten to the core
Get this mirror of my door, get this mirror of my…
