Staring at the mirror on the wall
There’s no reflection at all
Looking up laying down on the floor
Can’t remember ever feeling like this before
Phone screen filled with unanswered calls
Don’t believe a word she says when she talks
Unwritten letters spread all over the stand
Full of empty words forever left unsaid
I can see the seasons shifting by
From the different colors that paint the sky
Everything’s in motion but me
‘Coz the past is all I can see
Drifting through broken glass
Smoking my thoughts away
Chasing a fake laugh
That will keep the others at bay
And the dreams I´ve been dreaming
Like a sow without the reaping
They’re the dreams I’ll never believe in
As I wake up all alone
Craving the things I’ve always longed for
Wishing I could just belong more
Step inside and rush right in
Welcome home reality
I can see the seasons shifting by
From the different colors that paint the sky
Everything’s in motion but me
‘Coz the past is all I can breathe
Drifting through broken glass
Smoking my thoughts away
Chasing a fake laugh
That will keep the others at bay
Why am I so afraid ?
Wednesday
The Mask
You can play the part and wear the mask
Be another circus monkey performing the expected task
The price is at hand, your life is all they ask
When finally you realize your dream is an illusion,
Hidden behind a desk
If you can remember it for so long have you been hypnotized
All your opinions, ideas and laughter
Criticized
All your thoughts, dreams and expectations
Vandalized
It's an honest attempt,
Of that you shouldn't be ashamed
'Coz even if it's your own fault,
Society's to be blamed
For all the unwritten rules
You will, and have, sustained
Break through, run free,
Your life will never be the same
Or are you just another wild beast
Waiting to be tamed
But wouldn't that really be in vain
Wouldn't it ultimately drive you insane
Knowing that all you live, feel and breathe
Is a lie
That you never knew differently
´Til the day you eventually die
Realizing that never once have you lived
You were just here passing by
And never really enjoyed the ride.
