i’m too afraid, afraid to see,
to see the truth that defines me
mirrors show what might have been
the skin-deep smiles are lost within
before dawn, a woman crawls like a vision in my sleep
her purpose unclear
distorted reflections of an ending yet to come
paralyse the soul, dazed and numb
i wake up to the sounds of a striking clock
dreadful tones hit me like a rock
you are near me, lead the way
name the price, ‘cause i don’t want to stay
no, i don’t want to stay…
take me away
the curtain falls, she comes forth and whispers in my ear
'as you wish, look away and don't fear
it's artistic redemption, your body left behind
for eyes unfolding blind'
