Step One: Step up.
Step Two: Look up.
Step Three: Face yourself.
Face yourself.
Face yourself.
The reflection in the glass
Is just a mirror of the past
With a broad light to spotlight
All the little scars of failure.
Like through a microphone,
What wasn't but is now known
Echoes, echoes, it goes, echoes,
It goes screaming for a savior.
Purple, is mixed red and blue,
Like the face staring back at you,
Or a posing beast that's in your feet;
From shoulder to elbow to hand.
Red, is blue til hitting air,
Background white and knuckle hair
And splatterd among the shattered
Glass around where you stand.
Step One: Step up.
Step Two: Look up.
Step Three: Face yourself.
Face yourself.
Face yourself.
Now all that's to see
Are little pieces of the beast
Like little baby mes
Like little baby beasts.
So I step up,
So I look up,
And I face what's left of me.
It's not much,
But there's still chance of recovery.
Step one: I step up.
Step two: I look up.
Step three: I face myself.
I erase myself,
Move on to step four,
And recreate myself.
