The mask is full of sweat and filth
It's become unbearable
About time it came off
Today i looked inside mirrors
Mirrors once broken in rage
Rejected , ugly , unseen
Today I looked inside mirrors and saw
I saw men made of pain
Men forged through suffering
Was it not you who planted the seeds?
Was it not you who said theres flowers of different sorts?
I see now and I know
I'm ready to reap what was sawn
I'm ready to reap what was sawn
I know now
Once dead twice alive
Was it not you who said some flowers bloom in violence?
Some flowers bloom in violence
And I embrace the pain
Sweet mother on misery
I see what you are
And i'm gratefull for the pain
And the tears and suffering
And i embrace this boy
Unable to sleep in fear
Cold hungry and beaten
Shivering on a bed on the filth
I embrace it all
And i know i need my knife to cut deep
Cut flesh to shape a man anew
What is all this if not borrowed?
What is all this if not dirt, to plant a seed?
What are we if not dirt?
Get up, the man in the mirror said
Get up and slay them all
