Distortion

There's a girl staring at me
She has black hair, pink lips, pale skin
She seems so normal
But her eyes are so diffrent 

Blue like the ocean or the sky
She's hidding something behind those big blue eyes
I fallow them down into her soul

It's so dark here and so empty and lonely
I can feel fear and desperation
She feels so lost

Flshes and faces of people who left
Or people who broke her heart
I see now that even though she smiles
On the inside she's dying

I run trying to escape all of the pain
I hear a smash and loud shattering
When I open my eyes I see my bloody hand and a broken mirror.

In the mirror I see the girl, distorted, looking back at me
