Metamorphosis

The soul flickers away
All hopes go to waste
Dreams die out
Beliefs begin to change

I see the world with different eyes
I lose myself and wear a disguise
And everyone around me does the same
I try to find myself but realize it has been too late

My aspirations have already drowned away
In seas of wisdom that has killed all hope
I'm living a life lived before
By people who have no mind or soul

And then I see a ray of light
They call it love, I call it a lie
It makes me live a life again
As what it feels I am now and not of what I was then

I haven't found a meaning in life for so long
cause nothing is right and nothing is wrong
While the fear of loss lingers like a song
It is the pain of it that makes me belong
And this fear is the only truth that has a dept
Since life is a metaphor of death

The reminiscing

I watch the raindrops fall in front of my eyes
I see the inverted reflection of my disguise.
The roles I've played and left undone,
I forget the last as I move to the next one.

But in the reflection I look into my own eyes.
The memory of time passes me by
I see tears of sorrow and joy,
I slowly realize how I came to this point.
The tears fall but I don’t start crying
I suddenly feel a lack of life
I've given up chances without even trying
The feeling of loss stabs like a knife.

Just then the rain stops to fall,
I close my eyes... forget it all
I stand still as the memory fades away
So I can go back to the role I have to play
