Lately (Mirror)

Baby tell me, are you coming home late? Staring at the screen more than me, While I watch your heart break. I can see the strain on your brain that's driving you insane. Are you okay? (Baby are you okay?) Lately you've been looking like your drowning on dry land. I'm up to my neck and I think we're drowning where we stand. Looking for a signal to tell you to get a helping hand. Would you even grab it if I said I understand. Look, I know it's mangled and tangled in your head space. All that I can see that's between us is the dead space. All the manic panic, I have it, making my heart race. Am I standing with you, against you? or just a blank space. We've crossed the line. You're out of time. Why can't you see. Further we sink. How much of it are we taking, working all night till you're breaking. What is the glory you're after. Robbing you of all your laughter. Now what I see is hysterical, the withering of one who bares it all. You think that nobody cares at all, lonesome will lead to your burial. Tell me do you think it's worth the reward? Do you even know what you're paying it for? Whatever it is that your working toward. Don't you see you're not who you were before? We've crossed the line. (Do you even know what you're paying it for?) You're out of time. (Tell me do you think it's worth the reward?) Why can't you see. (Don't you see you're not who you were before?) I won't tell you to quit it, Won't tell you to stop when you're burning your bridges. Won't notice me crying, you're fighting your prison. Look to the sky, but the light keeps on dimmin'. You fight your own battles, anxieties winning. Just tell me now when I'll have your attention. I'm not a target for all the dissension. Can I really be the piece that you've been missin'? When have you had enough, You and your work have been mad in love. All of the time you've been racking up, Working so people can gas you up. I just hate seeing you livid. Working too hard just to see you not get it. Looking for gold in the mud that you're diggin'. Chasing the clock, but not counting the minutes. You're chasing the life that we never could live in. Turn it around and just see what you're missin'. When will you notice that I'm at my limit? When you turn around and I'm no longer in it..... We've crossed the line. You're out of time. Why can't you see. Further we sink.
