Deadline Missed
Is anybody there behind that lifeless stare
We are here behind the empty glare
Do you know where we are now and who you are
We answer your question as one answer from many voices inside
We are dead to your sight yet live more then your own for we had lived for others before our own
How many are there behind your eyes in which I inquire to speak to answer me now and answer true
To acquire the answer in which you seek look into the mirror and we shall speak
Your response is not understandable if you remain trapped on the other side
We are all which hide inside your mind we are hidden deep in we reside
The answer you seek is waiting to respond looking for your eyes so you may react
Mirror up on the wall give your names not one but all
We are not you we are not real you can see us until you lost the right to feel
Yes the answer in which you desire is buried 6 feet with you near your fallen empire
We are one and yet no-one at all you're value was buried along with your mind
For the answer in which you seek dig up your bones to recover your despite
We went down quietly along with your soul we fought for nothing yet the fall was worth the fight
Now the voices which you now hear are just a mere reminder nothing is worth the conflict
If the answer shall expect a little fear
