Within this black mirror
I embrace my truest form
To know thyself and trust no one
In blackest sin the sheddings done
This sum of scars remains the same
Repentance laced with hexed benevolence
Wounds kissed with salted lips
As the life I rode in on is now weak with rust
Husk removed in forlorn decay
Communion fed with tears of wine
Unifying this trinity of scum
Communication through altercation
Father
Mother
Unwanted son
Forgiveness never
Beasts of martyrdom
Sympathy in admiration
Forgiveness never
At what cost were you forsaken?
Do you suffer breathless dreams, back on distant shores?
Not all is lost when bridges burn, reflecting back and forgetting none
By myself but not myself
I've moved on as you've moved down
This trinity of scum
Accountability lays just beneath me
This trinity of scum
I hung for your sins of failed relations
Not by gallows but by line for all to see
Embodiment of charity
"Oh how I've failed," the wretched said
The perfect life
The perfect fraud
The perfect traitor is here at hand
All I had to lose was everything
As I gave my life to this void of demand
Alive within this black mirror for all to see
This is now existence, as it was always meant to be
Alive within this black mirror for all to see
I don't desire acceptance, or cross, or pity
All past tense and pa**é
Within this black mirror
I begin to reflect affinity
Within this black mirror
I embrace my truest form
I now know myself and trust no one
In blackest sin the sheddings finally done
