The Mirror (Music & lyrics: Saarinen)

Is it me?
Could it be?
When I look in the mirror I see
broken dreams
Life used to be so much easier
The years and the tears,
they have carved their own marks upon me

When I was young
nothing seemed out of reach
All day long just having fun,
running wild on the streets
But those days seem so far away and gone

Now all I see
is a man left to bleed on his own
With broken bones
I could never make my way back home

Yes, it seems
I can't recognize myself anymore
Sometimes I feel
like I was better unborn

All these thoughts running through my head,
all these words that I wish I'd said
Will I ever be able to see
the man in the mirror like I did?
				
The reflection's there
but what am I looking at,
who? Is it me?
Or have I turned into someone else?
Why? Is this real? Or is my
mind playing tricks on me?
How can it be,
that my life's slowly
 come to this?
I cannot bear
all the things I have seen in this world
Yes, I swear
that the time's come to end all the hurt
I do not care
if it will be the last thing I see
The man in the mirror is me

Soolo

All these thoughts running through my head,
all these words that I wish I'd said
All those nights lying awake in my bed
the tears that I've shed

The reflection's there
but what am I looking at,
who? Is it me?
Or have I turned into someone else?
Why? Is this real? Or is my
mind playing tricks on me?
How can it be,
that my life's slowly
 come to this?
I cannot bear
all the things I have seen in this world
Yes, I swear
that the time's come to end all the hurt
I do not care
If it will be the last thing I see
Is it me? The man in the mirror?

This life’s but a journey through the dark and the shadows
But night is a darkness to be broken by candles
We hide but the truth lies inside everyone of us
We find our own way ’cause we’ve never been really lost

Like every night will eventually come to it’s end
It is time for the sun to finally ascend
Light the path I am trying so hard to amend
Show that the man in the mirror is me again
