1. Looking into the mirror
What do I see?
Is that person me
Or the person I used to be?
2. The man staring at me is familiar
But then he was more rugged,
Rough and tattered,
Abused and battered,
Unhappy and tired.
3. Left home to be a better version
A new and improved interpretation
Found myself in horrible situations,
Situations beyond mere imagination
In desolation, famishment and starvation.
4. If only I knew what drugs could do to a person
I would have never gotten involved I’m quite certain
Was it the pressure or it was the tension?
I would never be sure of the reason
Whatever it was, it was all bound to happen
At least now, I am at peace with the heavens.
5. Remembering I was on my way to work,
I finally decide to look away
But these memories with me will forever stay
At the end of the day,
I only had myself to blame.
