Recognize

Well I've had enough of these selfish crimes.
I hurt myself again not knowing why.
It seems so easy to leave it all behind,
And avoid the truth.
I think I'd rather just go blind.

Then everything erupts;
My life has come unglued.
And the ties that bind have left me.
What am I to do?

Can't seem to recognize that stare behind those eyes.
Who is this man I see who's looking back at me?
Can't focus through the pain, and I am fading into nothing.
The reflection must get clearer.

I think I'm cracking up, like I've lost my mind.
I hurt myself again. Still don't know why.
I end up the same way each and every time.
Can't avoid the truth. There's just nowhere to run and hide.

Then everything erupts, just like I knew it would.
Been down here long enough.
It never felt that good.
Is this what I've become?
My life has come unglued.
And the ties that bind have left me.
What am I to do?

Can't seem to recognize that stare behind those eyes.
Who is this man I see who's looking back at me?
Can't focus through the pain, and I am fading into nothing.
The reflection must get clearer than it appears to be right now.

There must be someone I can see.
There's gotta be something for me.
Show it now. Let it go free.
I know it's there, waiting on me.
Let it out. Let it go free.

Can't seem to recognize that stare behind those eyes.
Who is this man I see who's looking back at me?
Can't focus through the pain, and I am fading into nothing.
The reflection must get clearer.

Can't seem to recognize.
Can't seem to recognize.
The reflection must get clearer.
