Anno Domini - Reflections lyrics

(Intro) Sometimes i look in the mirror and see a blurred reflection Trying to figure out who i am, i often feel dissconnected Trying to hard to personify perfection The world says you gotta follow a recipe But i'll write my own cook book with integrity Paint my own portrait seperately Walk with the outcasts and be proud No need for me to stand amongst a crowd I'd rather be loved by a few and hold em close to me Instead of lied to by many who ain't who there supposed to be (Verse 1) Sometimes i look in the mirror and see a blurred refletion Trying to figure out who i am, i often feel dissconnected Trying to hard to personify perfection That i often bruise my own complexion Scatter brained and scars on my mental projection Honestly trying to change who i am just to be accepted But i can't go on and leave my true self neglected I'd rather be the object of my own effection Instead of pushing myself in the crowds direction Walk with those who wanna stand by my side Instead of following those who wanna k** my pride From now on i'm living for myself I am who i am f** everybody else (Verse 2) I look in the mirror and see fragments A broken spirit and a soul thats absent Feelin like the earth is movin but life is stagnant Trying to figure myself out and pick up baggage Walk thru the burnt buildings and look thru ashes To find who i once was, trying to gather my pa**ion Start from the bottom, it's a slow process Re-building myself but i can see progress I can see light thru the tunnel at the end I feel like i'm becoming myself again Finally feeling comfortable in my own skin (Verse 3) I can see my reflection clear as i stand here with a smile Tattered clothes and torn shoes from walkin a hundred miles A rider of the storm, i made it thru the fire Saw who i once was, defeated the demon and i stand tall And those who stand with me, also took the fall Was there to see the worst and helped me be the best They helped me thru the curse, and now i feel blessed As i write this final verse to get it off my chest I had to find myself, to find happiness within Time to turn the page and let a new chapter begin
