Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

See my reflection in the mirror
I need to stop stressin
I'm livin in fear of always messin
Up everything dear to me
There's nobody that wants near me
I don't like what I see in the mirror
I'm hanging on the edge in fear
I might get lost in my mind that needs cleared

I might just slip can you wipe away the smear
Spray down the cement with your tears
I'm tired of my repent I want you here
I've been sent down a decline can you hear
I want myself to disappear
Sitting in silence
All I can think about is violence
My phone has burnt out my eyelids
Watchin life get taken why's this
A source to relieve my problems
Blood pours and it gets coughed up
Now I'm sick of life and want chopped up
Cut me into little pieces and stuff them inside a coffin
Inside a coffin (cut me into little pieces and stuff them inside a coffin)
I don't like what I see in the mirror
I'm hanging on the edge in fear
I might get lost in my mind that needs cleared
I might just slip can you wipe away the smear
Spray down the cement with your tears
I'm tired of my repent I want you here
I've been sent down a decline can you hear

I want myself to disappear
(Disappear)
