(I)

Now I'll close my eyes

And maybe when they open once more you'll be gone

Remember I'd say to you

I'm gonna see the world I never knew

And when this inner battle's won

You'll see it too

You'll see it too

What's behind those eyes?

A stranger to company

Watcher in a mirror maze

Avoiding your gaze

Fly away

Into a world where I am everyone

Lie awake, these marble halls

Will hide me till the threat of connection fades

Like ships passing in the night

I keep my outlook out of sight

The morning hour breaks and I'm not there

We twist words until they bleed

Saying everything but what we need

Look on but never speak till life is ending

What's behind those eyes?

The stumbling traveler

Knows what little light remains

Is fading away

But still we hold on to faraway plans

Clouded things nobody understands

To face ourselves

To do what no one can

(II)

I'm falling

But no longer seem to care

And I'm free to be nothing

A way of living that has served me well

I'll see it through

Would we be happier outside?

Do I step into the light

Life behind closed eyes

Soon I must decide

Tell me

When did harmless apathy

Become open contempt?

It's not enough to feel sorry later

Another day

...And as the world moves on...

Will we be safe on the outside?

Do I step into the light, I'll try

Always looking down

Blind to all around

The mirror breaks

And still it is me

The morning wakes

And I can see what I've never seen

Never seen before

Everything I have known must fall

Too late, too late

The waking world above awaits
