Like a snake that crawls through the sand,
Here I stand.
But I do not crawl through the sand, because just like a mirror, I reflect you.
Instead I crawl deep beneath the surface where your deepest struggles lie.
I can bring you to your knees and make you cry,
Or make you raise your hands to the sky.
For I am all of your troubles, For I am all your struggles.
While I may also give you hope, I can also be the root to your white lies,
To save your own hide.
I speak to you in your dreams, and you always reply.
You look back on me, when you're ready to die.
And I am no stranger to your tears, or your fears,
Because to me they are crystal clear and nearly all I hear.
Family is for always, but I am an eternal flame inside
Breathing my flame into you thawing the coldness that's inside,
And taking it away, so you can see your flaw.
But in your time of need, I will always be right here inside of you
Ready to catch you when you fall.
You may be able to push me back, or capture me to put on a rack,
But I am always here.
I can show you your mistakes, the ones you would hate to recreate.
But in the end, they may kill you, my creator
But I will always live on, and so will you,
You will live on through me.
