I. Reflection
Cunning, baffling, powerful!
Been beaten to a pulp.
Vigorous, irresistable!
Sick and tired and laid low.
Dominating, invisible!
Black-out, loss of control....
Overwhelming, unquenchable....
I'm powerless, have to let go!
I can't escape it!
It leaves me frail and worn.
Can no longer take it!
Senses tattered and torn.
Hopeless surrender!
Obsession's got me beat.
Losing the will to live.
Admitting complete defeat!
Fatal descent... spinning around.
I've gone too far to turn back round.
Desperate attempt to stop the progression.
At any length, lift this obsession
Crawling to my Glass Prison,
a place where no one knows,
my secret lonely world begins.
So much safer here,
a place where I can go
to forget about my daily Sins.
Life here in my Glass Prison,
a place I once called home....
Fall in nocturnal bliss again.
Chasing a long lost friend
I no longer can control.
Just waiting for this hopelessness to end....
II. Restoration
Run – fast from the wreckage of the past,
a shattered Glass Prison wall behind me.
Fight – past walking through the ashes,
a distant oasis before me.
Cry – desperate, crawling on my knees,
begging God to please stop the insanity!
Help me – I'm trying to believe!
Stop wallowing in my own self pity....
"We've been waiting for you my friend.
The writing's been on the wall.
All it takes is a little faith.
You know you're the same as us all."
Help me – I can't break out this prison all alon.
Save me – I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own.
Heal me – I can't restore my sanity alone.
Enter the door--desperate!
Fighting no more--help me restore!
To my sanity--at this temple of hope!
I need to learn--teach me how!
Sorrow to burn--help me return
to humanity--I'll be fearless and thorough
to enter this temple of hope!
Believe--transcend the pain!
Living the life--humility
opened my eyes--this new odyssey
of rigorous honesty--serenity
that I never knew--soundness of mind
helped me to find--courage to change
all the things that I can.
"We'll help you perform this miracle,
but you must set your past free!
You dug the hole, but you can't bury your soul!
Open your mind and you will see!"
Help me – I can't break out this prison all alone!
Save me – I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own!
Heal me – I can't restore my sanity alone.
III. Revelation
Way off in the distance I saw a door I tried to open.
I tried forcing with all of my will but still, the door wouldn't open.
Unable to trust in my faith, I turned and walked away.
I looked around, felt a chill in the air,
took my will and turned it over.
The Glass Prison which once held me is now gone,
a long lost fortress armed only with liberty
and the key of my willingness.
Fell down on my knees and prayed,
"Thy will be done..."
I turned around, saw a light shining through.
The door was wide open.
IV. Reflections of Reality Revisited
Hello, mirror. So glad to see you my friend, it's been a while.
Searching, fearless.... Where do I begin to heal this wound of self-denial?
Face yourself man!
Brace yourself and trace your Hell back!
You've been blinded, living life a one-way cold existence all the while.
Now it's time to stare the problem right between the eyes, you long lost child.
I want to feel your body breaking!
I want to feel your body breaking and shaking and left in the cold!
I want to heal your consience making a change to fix this dying soul, this dying soul!
Born into this world, a broken home.
Surrounded by love yet all alone.
Forced into a life that's split in two.
A moter and a father both pulling you.
Then you had to deal with loss and death.
Everybody thinking they know best.
Coping with this shit at such an age
can only fill a kid with pain and rage.
Family disease pumped through your blood.
Never had the chance you thought you could.
Running all the while with no escape,
turning all that pain into blame and hate.
Living on your own by twenty one.
Not a single care and having fun.
Consuming all the life in front of you.
Burning out the fuse and smoking the residue.
Posessive obsessions, childish games....
Vengeful resentments....
Passing all the blame.
Living out a life of decadence.
Acting without thought of consequence.
Spreading all your lies from coast to coast.
While spitting on the ones that matter most.
Running power mad with no control.
Fighting for the credit they once stole.
No one can ever tell you what to do.
Ruling other's lives while they can't stand the thought of you.
A living reflection seen from miles away.
A hopeles affliction having run astray.
I want to feel your body breaking.
I want to feel your body breaking and shaking and left in the cold.
I want to heal your consience making a change to fix this dying soul.
Now that you can see all you have done,
it's time to take that step into the Kingdom.
All your sins will only make you strong
and help you break right through the prison wall.
V. Release
Come to me, my friend--listen to me.
I'll help this torture end--help to set me free.
Let your ego go--I can't carry this load!
You can't go through this alone--I feel so hopeless and exposed.
You'll find your peace of mine--give me some direction!
You can no longer hide--break out of this isolation!
Let humility--openess, honesty
and become what you can be--a healing tranquility.
Help me.
Save me.
Heal me.
I can't break out of this prison all alone.
These tormenting ghosts of yesterday will vanish when exposed!
You can't hold onto your secrets!
They'll only send you back alone!
Your fearless admissions will help expel your destructive obsessions!
With my help I know you can be at one with God and man!
Hear me!
Believe me!
Take me!
I'm ready to break right through this prison wall.
