Mere Reflection - Emerald Sun

Cuts like a knife

I lie here dreaming for a while

About all the things that matter in my life and I…

I awaited the day for the price I had to pay

Just to see them come alive

Being born but then they die

All dreams can turn to ashes when they’re gone

And a new beginning is at dawn

Deal of joy unsigned, once again

Leave the past behind, I wish I can

It was a mere reflection of a false perfection

And a change of plans

Woke up today

With sadness marked right in my face

But behind this mask I’m strong, I have to keep the pace

A new initiation as the sun shines so bright

And the dark is wasted by the gleam and the light

So I realize dreams are born when I’m losing my aim

Like a phoenix rising from the flames

Deal of joy unsigned, once again

Leave the past behind, I wish I can

It was a mere reflection of a false perfection

And a change of plans

How can I turn my back to fate

And then rely on something fake

Asking myself if this could be

And why it’s happening to me

Don’t try to preach what you ignore

I’ve heard these words of yours before

I know the mirror never lies

If you see truth with your own eyes

Deal of joy unsigned, once again

Leave the past behind, I wish I can

It was a mere reflection of a false perfection

And a change of plans

Plans so strong that bound me into this web of lies

But now I’m free — the inner drive never dies
