I am the cure I am the curse I am the cure I am the curse I am the cure I am the curse I am the cure I am the curse I witness the aftermath of my destructive ways Vacancy has eroded me Spiral and ruminate Drown in thought and waste the day Can I forgive myself how do I face the day? What is left to reclaim of me? Look at me Tell me what you see All I see is a portrait of failures The pigment never fades How do I face the pain on my own? Take it day by day Or else it's too much to face Teach me how to be brave Give me hope Reach Reach for purpose in the dark Before we die with regret I went looking for the ghosts that caused me this pain They looked just like me I see a face haunting me Living in fear, drowning in stagnancy The cure and the curse share the very same face Renamed by shame Renamed by shame How do I reconcile this? Is this pain a burden I bare alone Or a lesson for growth? What do you see? Now I see a man I see a mirror image I see a ghost A lesson learned from the pain That never took my name Remember my name
