Tom: Ebm
Dm
It starts
Gm Am Gm Am
With the unexpected loss of something dear
Dm
The warmth
Gm Am Eb Am
That comforted and cradled just disappears
Eb
And in its place, there's nothing
Dm
Just an endless empty hole
Eb
The light that showed the way is gone
Dm
And darkness takes control
Db Cm Gb Fm
Bitterness and anger are quick to fill the void
B Bbm Abm Abm/Gb F Bb
The path to isolation is littered with the dreams that lay destroyed
[Verse 1]
Dm
The cold
Gm Am Gm Am
Seems to grow in my soul, it's consuming me
Dm
Confused
Gm Am Eb Am
And I'm losing myself in a storm
Dm
Growing jaded
Gm Am Gm
Being pushed, being pulled, I'm unraveling
Dm Gm Am Eb A
Can't find myself when I'm constantly forced to conform
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Eb
Enemies surround me
Dm
But the worst appear as friends
Eb
Liars and pretenders
Dm
Only seek to reach their ends
Db Cm
Everything is breaking
Gb Fm
Right before my eyes
Bmaj7 Bbm
Looking in the mirror
Abm Abm/Gb F Bb
I see someone that I don't recognize
Bbm Db Gb Fm
Cm Gm Eb Dm
[Verse 2]
Dm
The joy
Gm Am Gm Am
That my heart used to know is eluding me
Dm
Removed
Gm Am Eb Am
And the one thing I feel is alone
Dm
Smiles faded
Gm Am Gm Am
And I'm spinning and sinking and weakening
Dm
Frozen and stuck
Gm Am Eb A
Too lonely, it chills to the bone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Eb Dm
Memories escaping as my heart begins to drain
Eb Dm
Scars that cover wounds can't hide the self-inflicted pain
Db Cm Gb Fm
Everything my mind wants in conflict with my heart
Bmaj7 Bbm Abm F Bb
Fighting back surrender, but every day I'm falling more apart
Bb7alt(#9b13) (soloing over Ebm harmonic/5th mode of minor harmonic)
[Chorus 1]
Ebm
Mirror, what's this thing I see?
Bmaj7
Who is staring back at me?
Ebm E
This stranger to my heart that's filled my life
Abm Ebm9 Abm F Bb
Mirror help me, who am I?
