Mirrors

If we can't accept the reasons why
We're out of touch and cast aside
Just a limitless expedition
Through the grand illusion of reality
Losing my balance on the edge of desperation
Aspirations I abandoned slowly return
Consequence for existence
How can I find the way to deliverance.

Eternal suffering within
The rise and fall of a tortured mind
Thinking what could have been
Is the death of everything
A strange anomaly
Was it all just a dream
Looking back through
The mirrors of tragedy
The challenge ahead of me
Join me on the journey
As we race to infinity.

Take me back to the days when I felt alive
Living with regrets that I can't deny
I'm crushed by the weight for eternity
To the point where I lost belief
It all went wrong and integrity disappeared
Those days are gone and there's nothing left to lose
Turn the page and write something new
It's the only way to truly exist.

If the wheels fall off and you spiral out of control
Will you find the strength to go alone
Fallen paradise lays forgotten
Torn apart by arrogance and corruption
I don't want to repeat the failures
Mistakes I wish I could change
Everything you do will come back to you
When dreams will come true.

Don't know when I lost my way
Don't know where I'll find the faith
But we all go down in a sea of flames
That's all she wrote for me
Running away from the truth until it's nothing but a distant memory
It's just a fragment of my imagination
The last step in my recovery.

Eternal suffering within
The rise and fall of a tortured mind
Thinking what could have been
Is the death of everything
The darkness and light
The screams of innocence
The thorns will follow me
Back to reality
The past can't haunt me
I'm desperately holding on to the last strings of my sanity.

I'm nothing but a spark in history
For many years I wandered aimlessly
To the stars we'll make it another day
For the future's shrouded in mystery.

Take me back to the place where I felt alive
Living with regrets that I can't deny
I'm crushed by the weight for eternity
To the point where I lost belief
In the end we're just preparing for death
The day the when the light returns to you
Fight or flight
Dark or light
That day I was never the same again.

I'm a scapegoat for an illogical system
Paid the price for a lack of defiance
Walking through the shards of broken glass
It's a death by a thousand cuts
Reflecting myself in the mirror won't become any easier
As I crash into the wall
You're the one to wake me up.
