lake salvador - the mirror has changed lyrics

[verse 1]

i saw myself, in this foggy reflection
that resided within my psyche
i saw a monster, an abomination
it frightened me, it filled me with dread
i wanted to k!ll the monster
this sight would be easier to cope with if it was dead
oh, you should have heard the things i said
about this figure that lives in the mirror

[verse 2]

the hatred i had for this being, overwhelmed my soul
it shattered my sanity, it plucked my stability from its roots
the hate burned inside of me, you could smell the smoke
this started in late 2018, after my plunge into adolescence
some rap songs by earl sweatshirt echoing in my room
while the weight of the world fell upon my shoulders
fast forward to 2020, this hate is at a scolding new high
some rap songs is still echoing through my headphones
i sit there, wallowing in my despair, wanting to die

[verse 3]
i listened to microphones in 2020 by mount eerie
and it plucked the strings of my soul
it spoke to me, clear as a bright new day
phil elverum’s recollection of his past
he ill+strated the blooming of his mind
the flourishing of his life, like a flower in spring
it changed my view, and something within me cl!cked
i was to change my view of myself, i was to live my life
for you see, to this point, since in the womb
i’ve been living to please others and not myself

[chorus[

i live for me now
i live for n0body else
i love me for who i am and what
god has given me
i love all my friends and family so much
they’ve helped me tremendously in this battle
oh, that mirror has changed, the reflection is now clear
i now know what i must do
i will fulfill my purpose
daniel johnston, my friends, my family, ruby
i’ll make you all proud of me
or at least that’s the goal
the mirror has changed
the reflection is now clear
i see what’s there, it’s my destiny
