Refractions

The silhouettes change They fade into darkness and become deranged Become one of the estranged The thoughts never leave I'm forced to watch and I begin to believe Have my thoughts been deceived The further in I go Time shifts and begins slow Sight collides in vibrance it glows And the more I think. The more I start to know Headfirst into the fray My silhouette becomes part of the infinite array And I can't run away The eternal night Once permanent pride fades into white Now I see the light All that you thought All that you sought All that it cost And all that you lost Couldn't save you from tears And it became clear All you saw were refractions in the mirror Yet You still couldn't save Emotion they gave Now you are a slave To your mental grave And if credence you vowed Kept his name proud Kept you screaming high into the clouds Then why do you even Run from the shape All that can't Replace what they'd take So let the refractions pull you in Let the shape free you from your skin Let the sound burn your soul away Let the ones you loved leave you to decay We all have to play the four chords some day
