When the reflections of memory collapse,
The bleeding colors of grief dyes my heart,
By hands and knees, I creep to where love abides,
The circle rides the coil all around
Storms of fury turns the tides of bliss,
Thus brings a trap, a cage to the abyss,
Oh, so high, the walls I aim,
Only outside the window panes,
Through these sunken halls of shame,
To where the winds propel the rain,
My soul crashes upon the shores,
Where I found mine, and you found yours
It seems the captain was deranged,
Fished for love but landed misery,
Swallow pride and yearn for more,
The vessel collapses, sail torn
A stranger in the mirror, by the looking glass,
A danger in the view, not seeing past
