Mirror of Night

Looking behind, diverging roads I've wandered
I can see turns unheeded 
Gazing through eyes within these dark reflections
Facing a time long gone now
 
It's the quiet of the night I fear
The inner torrent that's unleashed
Replaying me the thousand times 
I should have spoken other lines 
In the middle of the night I hear
The dying dreams I never reached
But I cannot travel back now
Roads I've come down 
Reality is staring back at me
 
Eternalized are words already spoken
I can't erase or change now
Hyperbolized these thoughts running unfettered 
I cannot tame or cage them
 
It's the quiet of the night I fear
The inner torrent that's unleashed
Replaying me the thousand times 
I should have spoken other lines 
In the middle of the night I hear
The dying dreams I never reached
But I cannot travel back now
Roads I've come down 
Reality is staring back at me

The mirror of night it swallows me
Must leave behind to be set free
 
It's the quiet of the night I fear
The inner torrent that's unleashed
Replaying me the thousand times 
I should have spoken other lines 

It's the quiet of the night I fear
The inner torrent that's unleashed
Replaying me the thousand times 
I should have spoken other lines 
In the middle of the night I hear
The dying dreams I never reached
But I know these dark reflections
Can change nothing
Reality is staring back at me
