Words slice like a double-edged knife; my heart cannot endure
So watch me bleed, tainted blood pouring from my soul
I tried to save you, but it was all in vain
You cut me down, to ease your own pain
Now here I stand, wounded, broken and alone…
Here I stand, yearning, bleeding; I've come undone…
Broken mirror on the wall, watches me tumble as I fall
Refracted light blinding me to a truth that's buried deep
A shattered reflection helps me see
The strength that’s left inside of me
Now here I stand, wounded, broken and alone…
Here I stand, falling, flailing; I've come undone…
While you were fighting your war, I was fighting for my life
Wounded soul bared, harsh reality dealing it a bitter blow
Slow demise on mortal plains
Spirit drenched in eternal rains
Now here I stand, wounded, broken and alone…
Here I stand, forgiving, forgiven; no longer undone…
A glimmer of light still shines behind my broken eyes
Window of hope reminding me how to love myself again
Time has come to leave this all behind
Time to get you off my mind
You’ll only die a dream. I am my own salvation…
This is my Heaven. Watch me stitch my own wounds…
