as i lay dying - a broken reflection lyrics

[intro: tim lambesis]
a broken reflection

[verse 1: tim lambesis]
a picture means nothing
when the image in my head is all i see
a portrait of loathing
a painting of insecurity
i’ve burned the image a thousand times
to destroy the site of myself
but it left a branded mark behind
reminding me i’m far from well
(far from well)

[pre+chorus: tim lambesis]
now i stand strong but fragile
like clay pulled from the kiln

[chorus: ryan neff, tim lambesis]
face to face with what i fear
reflection from a twisted mirror
where every flaw is brought to light
and all that shines is left behind
a broken reflection

[verse 2: tim lambesis]
engrained with permanence
like a statue standing tall (standing tall)
but the frailty of a mere sketch
constantly set to rise and fall
[pre+chorus: tim lambesis, ryan neff]
depicting distortion
seen through an old warped film
now i stand strong but fragile
like clay pulled from the kiln
interpreting the madness
and cleansing the palette to bring

[chorus: ryan neff, tim lambesis & ryan neff]
bring me face to face with what i fear
reflection from a twisted mirror
where every flaw is brought to light
and all that shines is left behind

[bridge 1: tim lambesis]
will i ever be content with what i see?
(will i ever be content with what i see?)
or will my greatest oppressor (my greatest oppressor)
always be me?

[breakdown: tim lambesis]
shattered

[bridge 2: ryan neff]
engrained with permanence
like a statue standing tall
but the frailty of a sketch
set to constantly rise and fall
[verse 3: tim lambesis]
though charred by the demolition
a new image begins to appear
just like the one i’d destroyed
re+embraced by fear

[chorus: ryan neff]
face to face with what i fear
reflection from a twisted mirror
where every flaw is brought to light
and all that shines is left behind

[post+chorus: ryan neff, tim lambesis]
reflection, reflection
bring me back

[bridge 3: ryan neff, tim lambesis]
interpreting the madness
and cleansing the palette to bring
bring me back from this h+ll

[outro: tim lambesis]
shattered, shattered
