[Verse 1]
As the weakened attempt to stand
The cold wind of progression caused their downfall
Taking what was theirs, now you call it yours
Your thievery justified by legislation and might
The control of majority never ceases to overpower
The wounded and unfortunate left for dead without a second thought

[Chorus]
Looking deep into a mirror, the image frightens you
What you've become, your own obstacle
Looking deep into a mirror, the image frightens you
What you've become, your own obstacle

[Verse 2]
The burden placed on your shoulders
Causes guilt to flow through a once dead-end soul
Which took so much from so many others
One choice is left to take from yourself
What they worked so hard to achieve
Taken by your hand of disdain

[Chorus]
Looking deep into a mirror, the image frightens you
What you've become, your own obstacle
Looking deep into a mirror, the image frightens you
What you've become, your own obstacle
[Post-Chorus]
You
You

[Bridge]
And as you realize that the mirror doesn't lie
And the self you imagined is yet another fantasy
And as realization takes it's toll, a cold feeling overwhelms you
And you've become your own obstacle
Looking deep into a mirror, the image frightens you
What you've become, your own obstacle
Looking deep into a mirror, the image frightens you
What you've become, your own obstacle

[Outro]
You, you
You, your own obstacle
You, you
Your own, your own obstacle
