lyrics

I recognize that face
Staring back out of the picture
The very same one that I
Would once see in the mirror
Very well known to me
How many things I wish I could say
To this man, my enemy

Those young eyes glittered with dreams
But nothing such as a plan
Now I clean up after him

Curse that bastard
Who deigned to think his path was so unclear
He always knew the way
But waved away the signs his heart was gripped in fear

Now within the reflection
A tired brow lined with regret
Even despite greater effort
To correct the mistakes of the past
I'm slipping
Everything seems further yet

Taking things into my hands
Falls through my fingers like sand
Trickling down the hourglass

Damn that man
Who deigned to think his path was so unclear
He always knew the way, but waited
He hesitated

Nothing done but time still passes me by
It feels like I am just waiting to die
Break with the past but still to blame

I fear I won't be able to
Forgive the man in the picture

Curse that bastard
Who deigned to think his path was so unclear
Leaving me the work
To unveil a life we might hold dear
