"Character Profile"

I saw a man today
Admit freedom from his vices
Take a stand
So decisive

Once again I recall the feeling 
and dangerously it returns

I just can't let them go
Ancient relics from my past return
To haunt me

I just can't let them go
Good or bad my recollection never
Faultered

A standard of living
A personal philosophy
Instruction manual
It's how to be

Once again you will not break me 
try as you might to sap my strength

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who will catch you when you fall?
You're way of life it stays the same
Can't comprehend why you play this game

Look at me see yourself
What the hell do you want from me?
Take the time to know yourself
When you are acquainted don't flee

I'm judging you and you can do the same to me

The force you use to attain your goals
Your defense shows -- its clear
Don't take a chance -- maintain your stance
You make a gain through fear
