once a being	once a child	once a friend
stepping down	revealing hurt	and then
later i	became aware	of your sin
blink an eye	and now you're changing	once again
humbly	emptying	i feel corrupt
watching you	falling down	and shooting up
tried to breath	tried to change	tried to pray
but what the fuck	happened here	anyway
watching now	seeing what	you became
now i know	that it will never	be the same
pulling in	and lashing out	so desperately
a cry for help	and no one's listening	but me
standing here	in horror of	what you became
now i know	that you will never	be the same
a perfect clone	identical	in every way
unconsciously	mimicking	the things you hate
a perfect clone	hurting all	that you make
shedding skin	in attempt	to defamate
a perfect clone	with a need	to imitate
you will bleed	and crash and burn	until you break
taking in	and watching so	carefully
trying to	stitch together	what you need
feeding on	and digging in	while i repeat
insincere	inhumane
		and incomplete
listening	as you preach	what i should do
when i'm done	i become	just like you
repetitive	ritual	suicide
you can find	no safer place	that you might hide
wandering	and watching too	i try to see
why the fuck	you might have spent	all this at me
pretty little	repeating loop	of suicide
i should have seen	through it all	when first you lied
but who else	did i think	that i would meet
bending over	for a hook	and a cheat
and now you know	that all you are	is all you see
all you hear	is all you're told	just like me
all your hurt	and all the pain	within your soul
all comes down	to doing just	what you're told
a perfect clone	with a flaw	to contemplate
i will bleed	and crash and burn	until i break
despite the things	that i know	that you will do
if you want	then i will follow	after you
believed the image	sold yourself	and bought the lie
imagined hate	imagined fear	but don't know why
a hollow and	empty light	filters through
touching us	changing me
		and killing you
