How can I look at myself?
When I let it land on my shoulder,
When it whispered in my ear,
When I left the feelings of death
Inside of my skin to bleed emotions
I thought were long hidden away?
How can my eyes break?
When I look into the hollow,
When I've falsified a religion,
When my reflection's only silence
So I see that my soul is abandoned
And only the vultures remain?

Indeed a very interesting take on the picture. I think my eyes enlarged as I read this. Which is very good because you have really captured my attention and brought me into the story. Well done and thank you for your entry. Good luck
