Fish in a Birdcage - Rule #56 - Stranger in the Mirror lyrics

I need confirmation Before desperation Erases my discretions I'm stuck between realities I feel a slipping traction Defining new reactions I don't recognize the Stranger in the mirror staring back at me I'd like to find a bridge That connects my past to this To remember the challenges of where I come from That gates we had to climb Ripped our clothes and scarred your side Remember we pushed ourselves to avoid the fall Shadows behind me shout, carry on, move along The poison won't find me, carry on Mistakes don't define me, carry on, move along They simply remind me to, carry on I'd like to find a bridge To the past when we were kids To remember how we learned, just like a sponge Through the teachers of our past And the hardships that we've had Harsh lessons through suffering Shaped how we grow Shadows behind me shout, carry on, move along The poison won't find me, carry on Mistakes don't define me, carry on, move along They simply remind me to, carry on
