I Shall Miss Myself

[Verse 1]  
My name charred from the blast
Shadows screaming from the past.  
Inside the mirror, it won’t reflect,  
The face I wore, the soul I wrecked.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Every sign a faded hymn,  
Every breath feels paper-thin.  
I’m a recluse inside my skin,  
And I shall miss myself again.  

[Chorus]  
I shall miss myself—  
Fire engulfs me in flame.  
I shall miss myself—  
A rebel escaping the insane.  
I shall miss myself—  
When silence calls my name.  
I shall miss myself…  
Never again to play your game 

[Verse 2]  
The fists I raised now fall apart,  
The hollow drum plays my dying heart.  
The cult of me got lost downtown ,  
While the paper tigers tear me down.  

[Bridge]  
Lightning strikes but burn away,  
Clouds of smoke in shades of gray.  
I’m a target, for them to take an aim,  
A hamster wheel to outrun my shame.  

[Final Chorus]  
I shall miss myself—  
Thunder cracks along the sky.  
I shall miss myself—  
Truth forgetting its divine lie.  
I shall miss myself—  
Till the end I still won’t comply.  
I shall miss myself…  
Returning to dirt to watch the old me die.
