Analysis of Mirror of the Afflicted
Dominick Harvey 1993 (FL)
Staring into a mirror
Me looking at me
Years of pain and agony is all I can see
I've hurt more than I can imagine
All my bad deeds storing up for one epic finale
Drowning in sorrow
Sinking down deeper looking to the sky grasping to no avail
I have enough guilt to lend and borrow
Always misunderstood the real true way
Living everyday stuck on repeat
Reaping what I sow
To whom this life so I owe
Yet my debts seem to follow
Being of the afflicted
Here one day gone tomorrow
