Silent Echoes
Be careful what you think Thoughts can be dangerous Suspicions easily aroused When fragile minds, demand allegiance Speak not, your truth Don't even dare, to believe it Condemned for what you are For what you cannot help but be Your crime is to exist Condemned Identity A mind so small and vicious Cannot tolerate any divergence It will not stop consuming Until it sees, only its reflection When the crime, is who you are A state of paranoia, gone too far Condemned for what you are For what you cannot help but be Your crime is to exist Condemned Identity

Look upon, the surface Touch your fingers to the glass Reflected back at you A mirage you cannot see past A window shows you nothing If you refuse to look outside Transfixed by fear of something Some truth buried inside Your facade, begins to crack To my eyes, it's crystal clear Your pane of glass, your prison A self-confining mirror The truth lies beyond the mirror A world just out of reach There you'll remain, trapped, within your own reflection Your true emotions, a secret even from yourself A mask that protects, by suffocating Mesmerized by your illusions Images you craft and perfect This imaginary person Kills the very self you sought to protect A window shows you nothing If you refuse to look outside Transfixed by fear of something Some truth buried inside Your facade, begins to crack To my eyes, it's crystal clear Your pane of glass, your prison A self-confining mirror The truth lies beyond the mirror A world just out of reach There you'll remain, trapped, within your own reflection

Our time here is short Like writing in sand washed away 'Til we are just memories That grow fainter and fainter every day The only truth in this life is that nothing forever stays All that we are and all we know Hold onto these moments, don't let go Life slips from the present into the past This all could end so fast In this reality, you must make your own destiny Is your mentality controlled by fear of life's frailty? You won't believe it can end Til it's already too late The claws of time can't be escaped The only truth in this life is that everything dies All that we are and all we know Hold onto these moments and don't let go Life slips from the present into the past This can all end so fast In this reality, you must make your own destiny Mold your mentality free from fear of life's frailty

Stare into the mirror, what is it you think you see? A stranger looking back, or a forgotten memory? Shadows of self, pieces of thoughts you once suppressed They now resurface, to return again What is real? What is illusion? Thoughts twisted, into confusion Are they dreams, or obsessions? Fantasies, or confessions? Too horrible to contemplate, or have you realized too late? A shattered mind, a wretched fate, a personalities that separate Collapsing, like a house of cards Splintering into countless shards A mind torn apart Memories you can't believe, brought back through guilt and grief Nightmares now all too real, waking brings no relief Your mind's eye blinded, sanity has lost control To a part of yourself, best left unknown What is real? What is illusion? Thoughts twisted, into confusion Are they dreams, or obsessions? Fantasies, or confessions? Too horrible to contemplate, or have you realized too late? A shattered mind, a wretched fate, a personalities that separate Collapsing, like a house of cards Splintering into countless shards

Surrounded by silence, in an isolated world Remembered words, now so far away Senses displaced, context erased Drift in a maze, of formlessness Unmoved Stillness envelops you Cocooned Where screams, cannot find voice Lost in a world, once alive with words A reality, where all is silent Silent Echoes, reverberate through empty corridors Silent Echoes, soon to be forgotten Smothered by nothingness, The crushing weight of emptiness You scream into the void, no echo answers back Senses displaced, context erased Drift in a maze, of formlessness Unmoved Stillness envelops you Cocooned Where screams, cannot find voice Lost in a world, once alive with words A reality, where all is silent

A state that's neither death nor life Nobody sees or hears A place beyond, or perhaps within Where you come face to face with fear Into a realm you dread you now must go To experience things we can never know Suspended, between this world and the next Mind and body, disconnect Losing yourself Begin a journey to somewhere else Only time will tell What the end you'll find may be Consciousness Suspended in this nothingness Between life and death There are only fragments - of psyche We can only speculate On where the spirit goes The moments before your fate Only you can know Just how long can you endure Stranded between worlds And can we ever be sure Just what you've seen and heard? The final journey, you now undertake In a dreamlike world, but fully awake Suspended, between this world and the next Mind and body, disconnect Losing yourself Begin a journey to somewhere else Only time will tell What the end you'll find may be Consciousness Suspended in this nothingness Between life and death There are only fragments

Mental contortions, illusions fill, your mind's eye your vague distortions, to defend and justify Tongue tied in knots, your words come back to haunt Struggling to find, a cynical mind Reason denied, a death justified? Hiding behind, another's identity - you don't understand the things you say you believe Ideas without substance, promises fall idly by Words in abundance, soon to be revealed as lies Logic turned inside out, every time you open your mouth Struggling to find, a cynical mind Reason denied, a death justified?
