The Reflection In The Mirror

I have this deep, dark secret that I never share
It haunts me every day whenever I see a mirror
The person in the glass reflects the monster in my head
I fear going to sleep at night, all alone in my bed
I can't let that monster out of her iron cage
Because once she escapes, she'll go on a rampage
Finding vengeance for her past, present, mind
Never ceasing her destruction until she's satisfied
Her strength grows steadily, never decreasing
Her hatred, aimed at me, is increasing
She hates me for tying her up, locking her down
As hard as I try, I can't keep her underground
She's exposed my true colors a few times today
I regret all the things I have and will say
I don't want her to be free to ruin my life
But I'm growing too weak to resist the knife
The urge to cut is just to great
To continue trying to escape
The girl in the sink, staring into my eyes
Knows all she has to do is get me to die
The chains will fall off, the iron bars will melt
All because I'm that unsure of myself
I can't trust my wits anymore
Nor can I lock her prison room's door
I fear the reflection looking at me
I can't avert my eyes because then she'll see
The type of person I've turned into
She'll know immediately her dream's come true
I can't let that happen, don't you see?
If I let her out, she'll destroy both you and me
