lyrics

I have struggled all of my life
as time goes by
I hate to say
that life was a mess

inside this struggle the damage cannot be seen
with the naked eye it’s useless try a lucid mind instead
when you can not think clearly
is this a dream or a disconnection from reality

am I the reflection in the mirror that was led astray
I’d rather be the reflection in those calming eyes of yours
which makes you proud like in those desperate times
when I became your saviour when you were cast aside

isn’t this an endless
state of mind
searching all of my
deficiencies
I have hid them
in delusion
every night when I
shut my eyes

the headache is unbearable
feeling numb comforts me
holding tight without a sense of time

words start flowing from my mouth
by the image of you wandering in my mind
like an autopilot in the sky
imagination takes control
the battle is lost but we fall again
there is hope when life restarts
when all senses are ready for a new fight
the energy rises lost senses return
when memories cross barriers
unaware of what I see searching for a safe place
will I ever see clear skies again
paradise lies where the eyes don’t linger
perhaps it was blindness polluting my vision
the smoke rises
the steel is hot
cannon bursts

never again will I betray my thoughts
the price to pay and the risk of no return
this won’t control me anymore
finally I can see with clarity once more

I used to be afraid to think
but finally I broke free
like a bird migrating north in spring
I used to be afraid to think
but finally I broke free
like a bird migrating north in spring
