mirror / me

The fog grows dull and thicker
The answers getting harder to ever find
Obscuring every corner
It slowly starts to cloud and confuse the forest of my mind

Within this bleak existence, salvation takes the form of a melody
A distant recollection reminding me of who I'm supposed to be
This winter slowly freezes my heart
The strings, they guide me to this mirage

Yet, still I hope to find a way, still be saved, from dark and decay

There's nowhere left to run
There's no-one left to come to answer my plea
I won't accept that fate, no
I'll be making my own destiny!

The paranoia strikes on another sleepless night
I'm sinking lower into this reality
Doomed to be confined as prisioner of life
A nomad trapped within its own lost identity

(Woah, woah)
Don't look at me now
Just let me hide away, forever obscured from those who seek

(Woah, woah)
Don't want to be found so
Let me fade into the shadows far from any reach

Reflecting in the mirror
Somebody I have still yet to truly know
And still I keep the distance
While holding out a shred of this tattered hope

This canvas that is mine to paint, stained with grey
The brushes I had thrown away, the words I prayed
I'll take them in stride
I'll paint what is mine

Connected by the hand of a warm, familiar night
A chord becomes reborn as a new melody
Treasuring the moments that lift this sullen life
There's more yet to see, there's more yet to see

The paranoia strikes on another sleepless night
I'm challenging this joke of a reality
Giving all my role of a prisioner of life
I'll raise my voice and fashion my own identity!

(Woah, woah)
Don't look at me now
Just let me hide away, forever obscured from those who seek

(Woah, woah)
Don't want to be found so
Don't let me fade into the shadows
Won't somebody rescue me?

(Woah, woah)
So look at me now
And let me stand under the spotlight of those who sought to seek

(Woah, woah)
I'm finally found
Tearing away the tainted shadows, now I'm truly free

Broken from the cage, I know now I'm truly free
