The Story from Stygian Waves by Envy Of None

The Story

I try to be better
Look ahead
I'm dead in the depth of my reflection
How can I see through the center?
I'm a fool to think that I could figure it out

These walls are caving in
but I won't notice till the cracks begin
to break into my spine
and take the shape of every line

every line
every line
shape my mind

If I could be a better version of me
I'd step into a mirror and come back clean
If I could turn the deadfall into green
I'd be the hero of the story

But I turn into a villain
when I hurt myself again
and I cannot seem to find the strength
to wield that pen
and change
myself
enough
to break
the mold
that I am in

I wanna be changing
It's a shell
a shield
a cycle that I can't break

Tell myself that I can
a lie
I try a repeated phrase in my brain

These walls are caving in
and I won't notice till the cracks begin
to break into my spine
and take the shape of every -

If I could be a better version of me
I'd step into a mirror and come back clean
If I could turn the deadfall into green
I'd be the hero of the story

But I turn into a villain
when I hurt myself again
and I cannot seem to find the strength
to wield that pen

I wanna be the hero
Please
I wanna be the hero
Please

(I wanna come back clean)

Don’t wanna look in the mirror till I can be
Don’t wanna look in the mirror till I know that I’m clean

I wanna be the hero of the story
But I turn into a villain
