Silver Glass

Look away, avert your eyes
All you see is your demise
All you see is your demons
Whispering their prophecies
Broken down and on my knees

I can see enemies
Ghosts, or just memories
Hopeless grief, nobody's sleeping

It's in my head
It's only in my head

Close your eyes, avert your gaze
The glass will show you your decay
Close your eyes, turn away
Make it through another day

Visions of decay
Premonitions of grey
Peer into the glass
Who do I see? (Those eyes staring right through me, piercing deep)

I tell myself it's in my head
My reflections says
I'll be better off dead

But I can't escape the image of the stillness in my eyes
The pops, the echoes of the cries
Reverberating through my spine, there's
No escape in mind, I'm running out of time

Maybe if I close my eyes it all just goes away
Maybe if I close my eyes I'll stop the visions of decay
Tried to close my eyes to no avail
Should I rip them from my head?
Can we run from fate or am I better dead?

Visions of decay
Premonitions of grey
Peer into the glass
Who do I see? (Those eyes staring right through me, piercing deep)

I tell myself it's in my head
My reflections says
I'll be better off dead

Head and heart are racing as I'm pacing on the spot
Never saw a body but I'm certain that I heard it drop
What the silver glass had screened was something from a movie reel
But the board's just too askew
What's the chance that it was real?
