Mirror

They warned me about the road I chose
But I was too blind to see
Said every step away from God
Would only bury me

They handed me the holy book
I laughed and turned away
Said heaven was for weak old men
And tomorrow was another day

There was a voice that walked beside me
Ever since I was young
Looked just like me, talked just like me
Finished every sentence I begun

I thought he was my twin brother
The only one who understood
But every time he spoke into my ear
He led me away from good

They told me light and darkness
Were fighting for my soul
But I called it superstition
And never took control

Must be a cold day in hell
So tell me what have we done
Lord, take me out of my misery
I thought heaven was a bunch of tales

So now I need to get up there
Must be a cold day in hell
Everything I built came undone
Lord, save me from the man I've been

I thought heaven was a bunch of tales
So now I need to get up there
Get up there, you gotta get up there
Get up there, get up there
You gotta get up there

The older that I grew
The louder that voice became
Telling me there was no God
And faith was just a game

And he told me I was my own king
That truth was what I chose
So I followed every word he said
Anywhere the darkness goes

Then one night in the silence
When there was nowhere left to run
I realized that all those years
That voice was not my own

Every warning came back to me
Every word I ignored
And suddenly the stories
Didn't sound like myths anymore

Must be a cold day in hell
So tell me what have we done
Lord, take me out of my misery
I thought heaven was a bunch of tales

So now I need to get up there
Must be a cold day in hell
Everything I built came undone
Lord, save me from the man I've been

I thought heaven was a bunch of tales
So now I need to get up there
Get up there, you gotta get up there
Mhmm, Lord, can you hear my voice

Get up there, you gotta get up there
Get up there

Must be a cold day in hell
So tell me what have we done
Lord, take me out of my misery
I thought heaven was a bunch of tales

So now I need to get up there
Must be a cold day in hell
Everything I built came undone
Lord, save me from the man I've been

I thought heaven was a bunch of tales
So now I need to GET UP
Get up there, you gotta get up there
Get up there, you gotta get up there

Get up there, you gotta get up there
Get up there, you gotta get up there
