Staring Back (reflections)

There seems to be something going on inside of you

Maybe what you need is just another point of view

But not from me, that's not for me to do

So, step back, relax, take a second, look inside of you

And you can see an image of yourself you never saw before

Despite all the trauma you've felt

If one way or another, we all are bright stars

It's just a simple way to find out who we really are

Why do we let it out of control? Has all this taken a toll?

I don't know if we can take anymore

We've got to stop and take a look in the mirror before

Step back, take a look inside yourself

From the outside, you can see someone else staring back at you

It's your reflection

Why do you feel so empty every time you've had enough?

Well, maybe you don't realize with what you've been filling up

It's plain to see that eventually you will see

The Jekyll and Hyde game in your mind is just a simile

Before your perception has started to get a little numb

And your perfection isn't helping anyone

Your reflection is the only way for you to see

For your protection, you need to see reality
