Am I running?
It seems that I’ve long been doing so
From the memories etched into my brain
I know what I’ve done and there’s nowhere to go
The mirror can see through all façades
The glass, clear as crystal, taunting me
Provoking the whispers inside my head
Telling me it’s my own fault that I’ll never be free

»
 When will I become someone
 Whom I can look into the eye?
 How long will it be until I will see
 A face to which I won’t have to lie?
 Feels like I’m forever searching blind
 For a place in time where sins of the past all fade away
 The ultimate peace of mind
 I’m still waiting for that day

Words so empty
Freezing the pain in time and space
Maybe forgiveness has lost its point in the end
If it was ever to be had in the first place
This is judgment itself staring back at me
My own reflection will never comprehend
And the more that I try to shatter the gaze
The more pieces of me left to mend

They’re tying me down
The searing chains of regret
They scream for my soul
They’ll devour me yet
No, it can’t be undone
No, there’s no going back
So, just drown in the guilt
Let the scene fade to black
If somewhere is a light
Lying beyond all the pain
I could claw my way out
And I’ll break free from these chains
But what if there’s only darkness?
Perhaps the torment within will be endless…

When will I become someone
Whom I can look into the eye?
How long will it be until I will see
A face to which I won’t have to lie?
Feels like I’m forever searching blind
For a place in time where sins of the past all fade away
The ultimate peace of mind
How long will I be waiting?
