Reflection Lyrics

I remember a long time ago

So blissfully ignorant and hopeful

I spared no time for thoughts of failure

Nor mind for the paths that sat astride my own

But now things are different

And I can't recall when I stopped looking forward in lieu of gazing upon the ground

Perhaps I am looking whence I shall one day arrive

For I spare no longer a will to be alive

Yes, perhaps I long for rest

No longer do I see out

Beyond here

Slowly withering to naught

As the windows turn to mirrors

No longer do I see

Who I am in my reflection

The world has taken it from me

And now I only see nothing

(Save for the stranger before me)

(I become no one)

As the outset of sonder relieves my sight of color

(And die to the world)

It's better this way

To stay inside and grieve than face the sight of me

For what do I erode so violently?

The radiance I knew has died in me

If you're still alive

Just say something, say anything

(I can't feel anything)

If you're still inside

Would you let me know at all?

(It's been so long since I felt alive)

If you're still alive

Just say something, say anything

If you're still inside

Then help me see who I used to be again

(Don't leave me here)
