Offered just another chance
To change it all
To make the bubble burst
I uneasily move along
On those distant fields of time
Another time you tell me
Of all the plays I could take part in
Of all the prisons to break free from
And all those words
With families
Enter my head
Considering my difficulties
I just say
"Make yourselves at home"
But they don't stop at tea and cake
And dig out some old photographs
Showing stances of a person
I once could have become
I've seen these pictures long before
But never realized
That this was me
Lifeless and barren
With a voice so sad and silent
Was it a mirror?
Was it me or was it you?
No more raging
I've finally resigned
Dancing and laughing and drinking
With all of them in the night
Until the whole scenery
Is falling a

Whispering to myself
I examine the pieces
Staring alone into the dark
Of all the sins that man gave unto me
Vanity is the one I fear most
Thinking there is more to say
My thoughts revolve again
Around the same old senseless words
To subdue the voice
That never was meant to speak
My heart refuses to stop
But changes its beat
And just like it does
I gotta keep going
And then
Change my way
