Lyrics by Peter Schubert
Holding onto my thoughts way past the night, blurring the line between reality and time.
Leaving this place is a crime, but I do it, I do it for the sake of my mind.
Looking back upon the dusty room where it all began, with that beautiful girl, together with a vicious man.
All I remember are bloodshot eyes that stared at me from a broken mirror above.
Every attempt at flight seemed so futile, I didn’t know what to do, but these eyes…
These eyes will haunt me forever
The girl, looked at me and screamed “never”
These eyes had no life whatsoever
The girl, lay on the ground, oh the terror
When I came back, I had blood on my face, my shirt was torn, I was buried.
Steps in the bath, can’t tell present or past but I hear them, oh do I worry.
Something leads me to that sheltered place, the place where shadows do mingle.
Hesitation, must be life that cruel, but in the end one’s gotta pull through…
Opening it up, there is that mirror again, the girl, the man, the blood, the dust and..
These eyes that bear the pain of a sinner
The girl, still thinking I’m a winner
These eyes were red, reeking of liquor
The girl, sicker and sicker
Hit replay on memories, can’t seem to stop, reality is far and uncertain.
Dusty rooms and houses full of loss and regret, but nothing more.
Beautiful girls come and go, never stopping to live.
Vicious men reflected in mirrors above.
This goes on and on, I can’t take it anymore, my mind melts so slowly.
Visions of anguish, snippets of hate and I must scream
Is this reality or this a dream? All I’m sure of are…
These eyes, that ended me in my sleep
The girl, who never lived to weep
These eyes, now the only thing in the dark
The girl.
