One more time it burns at night As the tears fall I can't remember the last time I cried I can't explain how much I hate or love myself But do I lie if I say I feel the same way about you? This lullaby is only in my head The real world is the one you represent Why can't I see you in the mirror Father, mother I stand alone And I can't face the world As I choke on reality's sick and twisted game I see my life and I just can't stand it As I bear you and the one's you've handled Where did she go As you held me in your arms Once again I lay here at night As a wayward son consumed by things gone wrong God I can't explain how much I miss her As I kneel in tears asking her to come back This guilt is a part of me alone This emptiness the one I represent Why can't I see me in the mirror? Father, mother I stand alone And I can't face the world As I choke on reality's sick and twisted game I see my life and I just can't stand it As I bear you and the one's you've handled Where did she go As you held me in your arms
