Is it all over or has it just begun? Empty spaces between us Tell me Can we fill them once again? Listen to my words Still they're coming in disguise You're so used to talking to my mask You cannot see my true self anymore To no avail I can't see through the mirror that is you And all my failed attempts Stare back at me In darkness Broken glass is falling down They said there was no class So I asked to change my cards I've reached beyond the curtain But can't grasp I'm so used to breathing through this mask I made my true self suffocate To no avail I can't face the mirror that is you Where all my living lies Question me again In darkness Broken glass is falling down All that is over comes back once again All those directions That were not mine to follow Was it the fear of living through Another broken dream? What if I used this time to drop my mask? I'm so afraid I'll lose my true self evermore To no avail I've seen myself in the mirror that is you Death awaits and says "do come" But I won't listen I'm afraid Should I really wait And leave these dreams untouched? I fear I'll lose my mind I already miss so much But do I really need it all? I don't want to look behind The mirror in your eyes Cause I am afraid I'll find There is no true self anymore
Reason for writing:
I've already written this one some months ago, but couldn't find it anymore... I think it's about what we do to ourselves and others by building walls around our heart without really noticing it in time...
