Reflection Room

(album: Greyview - 2020)

The end and now

Without my eyes
Staring fierce into the blackened sky
Vibrating skin, caused by my boiling veins
Just seal the air out

Sinking up and slowly floating down
As I gaze upon the pillars wilting at my feet

Speaking in silence
Falling asleep into
Still quiet space
Pray that I wake again

Why am I killing myself?
All of me is not for you to take
For you to take

A fraction in time
We are so lost between the end and now
A broken sliver, shards of mirror crafted collectively
Endless river, the flow of eternity
Face to face, staring at my gaze in the water
Once a ripple, now quiet and still

Speak in silence, fall asleep
Into quiet, pray I wake
Speak in silence, fall asleep
Into quiet, pray I wake
Speaking in silence, falling asleep into
Stay quiet [?], pray that I wake again

My hollow self is nothing less than a pawn in this game
No time for rest when time is everything
As I'm waking up
I'm traveling on borrowed time
There I am bound, a fraction in time
A fraction in time, the end and now
