BDK - Man in the Mirror

Deep in my thoughts all I see is a warning
My head in the clouds I can't get enough
Between all your screams all I hear is the silence
Your cries of love were lost in the dust
Yeah, I was meant to do something bigger
Empty bottle no liver
This glass house that's down river
A hearts fuse with no trigger
A glimpse of the soul that's inside
Can't force what you cannot hide
Life's purpose without some drive
A dark room with no guide
Cold nights I laid on the floor
So tired don't sleep anymore
Life's tools without a drawer
Where's purpose in hopes I restore
The light at the end of the tunnel
Took lumps I've been through the struggle
Torn down covered in rubble
Life's tough but still here I tussle
Their trying to break me
Their trying to take me down
Yeah
Well Let them hate me
They'll have to shoot me down
'Cause the man in the mirror is the only one who makes it out
'Cause the man in the mirror is the only one who makes it out
Their trying to break me
Their trying to take me down
Yeah
Well Let them hate me
They'll have to shoot me down
'Cause the man in the mirror is the only one who makes it out
'Cause the man in the mirror is the only one who makes it out
Yeah, last night when I wrote it I said what I meant
The man in the mirror only breaks his descent
Adjusting my focus and the way that I speak
Negativity been drowning my climbs to the peak
But at 28 I've done more than most
Expected the best perhaps it's provoked
The deepest and darkness and demented of thoughts
Sometimes when I write it, it scares and it taunts
But I am aware of the light I have been gifted
How far have I come while my minds been restricted
We all got our demons we all been afflicted
And I pray to my God at times I've been drifting
And passing my mind like two ships in the night
The man in the mirror he's ready to fight
Yeah
The man in the mirror he's ready to fight
Their trying to break me
Their trying to take me down
Yeah
Well Let them hate me
They'll have to shoot me down
'Cause the man in the mirror is the only one who makes it out
'Cause the man in the mirror is the only one who makes it out
Their trying to break me
Their trying to take me down
Yeah
Well Let them hate me
They'll have to shoot me down
'Cause the man in the mirror is the only one who makes it out
'Cause the man in the mirror is the only one who makes it out
