Greatest Foe

Silence, loss of emotion for a lyric
Hope that's deferred can make a heart sick
Wondering if I had let you down
Repay you for all of the years the locust ate through
Stuck in the middle of a breakthrough
Wondering if you would let me down

Seems it's easier to dream
For others and believe
The mirror tells a lie
When I'm the greatest foe

Broken, cut by the pieces I'm left holding
Reaping a harvest of what's spoken
Measure the sorrow in my tears
Crawling out of the clouds the sun is dawning
Back from a peaceful sleep and yawning
Rising to shine a brand new day

Seems it's easier to dream
For others and believe
There's something good for you
Is there something good for me
Friend or so you say
Hero or a fake
The mirror tells a lie
When I'm the greatest foe
