lyrics

There's a familiar face staring at me
A reflection of pure melancholy
In a place where I keep waking up
Again and again and again

I hear the echoes of my fragile footsteps
I see a path amidst translucent walls
I hear my breathing reverberating everywhere
How did I even got here

I lash at the mirror ward
Where my nightmares keep haunting me
Shards of broken glass fall over me
And still another mirror stands before me

Can't find the entrance, can't find the exit
Not even my shadow to comfort me
Only a frail silhouette to keep me company
And all my fears are laughing at me

Are my thoughts even my own
Is my life really reduced to this
Stuck in a room, conceiving my doom
Alone and facing infinity

I lash at the mirror ward
Where my dreams cannot reach me
Shards of broken glass fall over me
And still another mirror stands before me

And the scene repeats... eternally
