Emerald Sun - Mere Reflection lyrics

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 So I realize 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
