Mad Man in The Mirror

[spoken] Every night I see him there, that mad man in the mirror.
His eyes pierce my very soul, look deep within me, see who I truly am.
This man, driven insane by the world and the people in it.
The once loved, the ever betrayed.

Take me away from this world so full of betrayal.
A world I once loved but have failed to save.
From itself and from me.

Its so hard to remember a time when happiness reigned.
Now the madman is haunting me.
Starring into me from his own world.
Or is he a creation of mine?
A tortured soul, that will never rest.
A heart broken and heavy

[spoken] Every night I look in the mirror,
He’s there starring back at me.
A man driven crazy? Or a soul yet to be?
Dare I meet his gaze? For it looks within me…

Every night I return, and yet he still waits.
Gazing eyes piercing my soul.
Weary of the world that has betrayed him.
The sorrow I see in his eyes,
I see reflected in me.
Will I be the next to fall?

Take me away from this world so full of betrayal.
A world I once loved but have failed to save.
From itself and from me.

Take me away from this world so full of betrayal.
A world I once loved but have failed to save.

[spoken] I walk these streets still, the people not the same.
Their souls are blackened by hatred.
I gave them no reason to hate me, yet they shun me.
Me, the one who tried to save.
I see now that my efforts were in vain.
For this world, and the people in it do not wish to be saved.
Now I hate them as they do me.
I have been betrayed

I have learnt to stay away from the crowds.
That man in the mirror my only companion.
I sit here and stare into that window.
I wonder how he was betrayed.

Take me away from this world so full of betrayal.
A world I once loved but have failed to save.

Take me away from this world so full of betrayal.
A world I once loved but have failed to save.

Now it is clear to me, who that man is.
I have seen into his soul as he saw into mine.

Take me away from this world so full of betrayal.
A world I once loved but have failed to save.
From itself and from me.

Take me away from this world so full of betrayal.
A world I once loved but have failed to save.

Take me away from this world so full of betrayal.
A world I once loved but have failed to save.

Take me away from this world so full of betrayal.
A world I once loved but have failed to save.
From itself and from me.

[spoken] Now it is clear to me, but the clarity came far too late to save.
For I know now, that man in the mirror, the one who was betrayed,
The one driven crazy by the world, the mad man.
He revealed himself to me.
I know now, that man is me…
