Change (or lack thereof)

 Tonight, I find the mirror lying to me So many things, that I didn't expect to see I don't know what's worse, the darkness under my eyes Or that within them, speaking of a silent sacrifice I've always done what I needed to, never more What I wanted never had never failed me before But tonight, my wants exceed my needs As I find myself consumed with greed Maybe that is why I cannot recognize myself now? Maybe I'm no longer the same, maybe I changed somehow But how do you tell the world, that you're not the old you? When you don't even know, what you're becoming into? The past and the future me, like two worlds collide While the present me looks for a place to hide And so it is lost in the mirror, lost like a maze Lost forever, until the mask becomes a face
