Blast from the Past

[blaise_pascal]

So I found this today when I was cleaning out a small bookshelf next to my bed.  It's the first "hit" that Ashton and I had when we were Foolish Wisdom.

Mirror

How could I ever be so selfish, to pursue happiness as if it were subjective.
I so love controlling my own life, but blame everyone else for my strife.

This vicious degradation, tore me apart for so long.  Still using matches while in full sunlight.

Mocking God, stuck in despair, hid under a blanket of subconscious.
What do You see when You look at me?  Is it something like me looking in a mirror?

This selfishness I held on to, I acted like my objective was true.
Loving myself above all and everyone else, I said, "This is my cake to have and eat too."

This vicious degradation, tore me apart for so long.  Still using matches while in full sunlight.

Mocking God, stuck in despair, hid under a blanket of subconscious.
What do You see when You look at me?  Is it something like me looking in a mirror?

I never do what I need to do, but in You there is no condemnation.
I've been imputed with Your righteousness, Oh, this wonderful salvation.

And when You're looking down at me,
Is it something like me looking in a mirror?
