Mirrors of Deception

Don't turn away 
listen to me 
I'm out here 
I'm alone here 
I'm out on a limb 
I'm struggling 
I'm fading far out 
I'm a dieing star 
I'm suffering 
my heart is empty 
and the love flows from me to you 
my heart is empty 
and the love flows from me to you 

Don't look at me 
I'm hideous 
Don't take me away 
I'm broken 
Don't lock me away 
I'm choking 
Don't hold me up to the flame 
I'm smoldering 

My heart is empty 
you've taken all the love and ran away 
left me here on my knees 
praying for better days 
I'm starving 
I'm struggling 
I'm choking 
I'm dieing 


Don't look the other way
