lyrics

We used to sail upon the waves
And save our pennies for a rainy day
We used to call upon the lightning
To do our bidding for a time

And though the past is fading
Away into the mirror
The power of my reflection
Will keep me here

We used to turn upon a time (He went away)
Without a reason and without a rhyme (He went away)
But now my wisdom is a leader
The intuition is a guide (No)

And though the future picture
Is blurry in the mirror
The power of my reflection
Will keep me here

You make an image of your life (He went away)
From broken bottles and discarded lines
Unspoken thoughts begin to fester (He went away)
Into a diamond in the rough (No)

There is no other moment
Than here and now again
The power of my reflection
Will be the end
