The Mirror

Temptation, Why won't you leave me alone ? Lurking every corner- Everywhere I go Self Control, Don't turn your back on me now When I need you the most Constant pressure tests my will My will or my won't My self control escapes from me still Hypocrite, How could you be so cruel ? And expect my faith in return ? Resistance, Is not as hard as it seems When you close the door I spent so long trusting in you I trust you forgot Just when I thought I believed in you ("What're you doing ? What're you doing ?") It's time for me to deal Becoming all too real Living in fear, Why did you lie and pretend ? This has come to an end I'll never trust you again It's time you made your amends Look in the mirror my friend ("That I haven't behaved as I should") ("Everything you need is around you. The only danger is inside you.") ("I thought you could control life, but it's not like that. There are things you can't control.") Let's stare the problem right in the eye It's plagued me from coast to coast Racing the clock to please everyone All but the one who matters the most Reflections of reality Are slowly coming into view How in the hell could you possibly forgive me ? After all the hell I put you through It's time for me to deal Becoming all too real Living in fear Why'd I betray my friend ? Lying until the end Living life so pretend It's time to make my amends I'll never hurt you again --- The Mirror - Dream Theater
