As you Star Into a Mirror

Life is like a journey behind a setting sun

Living like a fugitive always on the run 

A mixture of sadness and rare moments of fun

And when you get to the end you might find you've come undone

Climbing a ladder as you wonder why you're here 

The illusion of life as you stare into a mirror

Wondering about this isolation when you try to smile

Just the random effects of your exile

The jagged horizon seems just another mile

As you look on from a deserted isle,

Long gone memories last for years

Simply sentimental moments got to wipe away those tears 

Shuffling your feet as the end grows near

Those wrinkles on your face from living too close to fear,

Impressions from the shadows of midnight

Take care they’re only fancies of flight

Try to jettison fate with all your might

Blinded by gazing too long into the sacred light,

Climbing a ladder as you wonder why you're here 

The illusion of life as you stare into a mirror,

Chasing childhood reflections in the spirit dance

Wondering if there was ever a realistic chance

Save for the blood from a toxic romance

While the forces of darkness make their nocturnal advance,

A requiem for the downtrodden with a tired sigh

Up against an indifferent world that refuses to comply

It’s a time of reflection a time of no reply

While the clueless are simply passersby,

Climbing a ladder as you wonder why you're here 

The illusion of life as you stare into a mirror.
