Mirror With a Gun

Cast attention on the dreams we have caught They’re nothing of our own Filtering our hearts right through the dark Until we give in to the unknown Casting lights upon the pointless death In the wars that we’ve become It’s so sad to see what will really die The part we kill because we run Cast attention on the lies we create Manifesting every fear Will these walls protect me from the pain? Will the static drive the tears? Casting lights upon the obvious truth That we can’t remember love Because every notion that we think is right Was not handed from above Cast our questions into timeless stone It’s time to walk away Step again into the lonely dark It’s time to feed the pain Casting spells that only weave an end This is what we’ve become Friendly faces that will kill again We’re just a mirror with a gun
