I’m looking at my own self destruction
I’m looking at the thing that will kill me
I’m looking at a monster
And I’m looking at me

I’m looking at a pitiful creature
I’m looking at a harmless thing
I’m looking at a wingless angel
And I’m looking at me

I’m looking at the thing that bleeds me
I’m looking at gnashing teeth
I’m looking at the pits of hell
And I’m looking at me

I’m looking at a lost child
I’m looking at a stolen soul
I’m looking for salvation
I’m looking at me
