Reflection of a Mind - Darkwater

I can sense you

Through the mist in the moonlit night

Shadows dancing

To the beat of the pounding heart

The nocturnal breeze

It whispers my name

It alters my spirit and feeds my pain

I can feel you

In my veins and inside my mind…

I cannot believe

It’s tearing my mind, and I

I cannot deceive

My hunger for pain, though I tried

Wake me up from this slumber

In the morning I stare at the face of despair

I cannot hide

Dreading for the day

I fear the moment

The moment when I’m lost

I can see, but I won’t believe this

The reflection of me;

nothing lives, nothing dies

Will I see this forever?

In the morning I fear the mirrors truth

Darkness will rise

It’s holding my heart

Taking control of my senses

Take me!

I will not run

Break me!

Use my soul and

Own me!

I will not feel, I’ll embrace this beast

I cannot believe

It’s tearing my mind, and I

I cannot deceive

My hunger for pain, though I lied

Waking to the state I’ve been turned

Darkness all around and in my mind

You will stand before me, loosing hope

Waiting for the screams to be heard

Feeding on your fear, it’s my reward

You cannot escape this, that’s when you bleed

Am I lost now?

Will I wake up?

I’m numb and lifeless

Will I fight this… or loose?

Through the window shines the crescent moonlight

The empty wall reveals a missing portrait… of me… it’s lost

Seeking for myself in desperation, am I gone?!

The mirror shows me my reflection turned to stone

Scream and say my name, but no-one answers

Can’t remember how I used to look like

Now I’m gone

The night’s approaching

It’s close but I won’t turn into… you

Cause I won’t let you

Take my spirit nor take my soul!

I will not fear

Searching through my mind

The mirror shows me

Reflecting what is real

I cannot believe

It’s tearing my mind, and I

I cannot deceive

My hunger for pain

I cannot believe

Reflecting my soul, and I

I cannot be free

Until it’s gone, this beast inside

How I tried…

How I lied…

How I cried…
