Sentiment

I tried to see what life would be like on the other side of the mirror I knocked on the glass for days, but no one ever let me in Cracking, finally, the reflecting world showed me the truth That it's just like the one I’m in; it only makes you bleed in the end I only close my eyes To find something worth looking at I can only hear your voice When I’m screaming into the wall I only think on you When the cynical inspiration dissipates And sometimes only the freezing cold Is all that reminds me I can still feel Living this perfect life, dream lover, dream house, dream happiness Take for granted the gift, not accepting your needy independence Lust, greed, emotional gluttony; everything you've ever wanted It’s only thanks to me, I created the twist in your soul, I made you who you are I only close my eyes To find something worth looking at I can only hear your voice When I’m screaming into the wall I only think on you When the cynical inspiration dissipates And sometimes only the freezing cold Can remind you that you can still feel Taken by the presence of an all too familiar enemy This man staring from the corner; he never leaves, never leaves me Gentle whispers of deception takes hold and only tightens Painful sobriety renders me vulnerable and helpless He only laughs as I pray to God to save me I only close my eyes To find something worth looking at I can only hear your voice When I’m screaming into the wall I only think on you When the cynical inspiration dissipates And sometimes only the freezing cold Can remind you that you can still feel Stare into a face, frozen for eternity Never aging, never moving, never leaving; its world merely fades to white Longing to go back, wishing to be, nothing humors the hope Not tears, prayers, nor blood can bring them back Trapped behind wood and glass; imprisoned in this photograph I only close my eyes To find something worth looking at I can only hear your voice When I’m screaming into the wall I only think on you When the cynical inspiration dissipates And sometimes only the freezing cold Can tell me that I can still feel
