To look in the mirror and see a stranger, was pain at its worst
I couldn't identify with the man looking back at me
The look in his eyes made my heart feel like it would burst
He and I where total opposites, his departure was the key.

Like an instructor that couldn't follow his own directions
My eyes were open, but my mind was totally closed
I tried to do good, but he had way different intentions
I wanted to try to seek help, but feared being exposed.

He gained complete control, and drove madness home
I was lost and afraid, unable to find the right road back
He was starting to become who I was, my own genome
I was crashing through over growth, way off my track.

Day after day of constant lunacy, brought me to my knees
I prayed my eyes be unblinded and my path revealed
I needed a solution, if I were to hope to ever be cut free
Right before my eyes, the door was opened and unsealed.

I was hesitant at first because I feared the ramifications
I had a solution, but feared the possibility of violations
Like a light from the sky, I was forced into the doorway
Finally feeling relief, as I was cuffed and dragged away.
