I see a shadow in the mirror
Something that should’ve never appeared
A weakness that I cannot beat
A demon that will not leave
And when the morning comes
And I’ve washed away the blood
The tears from my night alone in my room
I stand up and I see the same shadow in the mirror
I cry out, I fall face forward and rip the mirror apart
Blood spilling from my hands, the gouges deep and sore
But even in the shattered remains of the mirror
The shadow remains
I cannot run away
I cannot run from something that was never a separate piece of me
I cannot run, from a shadow, forever a part of me
Delve into my soul, and I will find you there
Your devilish smile that I fell in love with,
That lovely deaths embrace is calling for me from the mirror
And it’s something I cannot escape
No matter where I try to run
It will find me
I get up and run anyway
Escaping into a moonlit getaway in my nightmare
Slipping through a meadow
Thorns from roses ripping my skin
The shadow running with me
Blood stained roses a sign of loves death
The roots rise up and grapple me
I cannot awaken from this terrible dream
No not a dream, a glimpse into my future
The pain searing through each open wound
And the stains of blood on the Earth grow cold
I cry into the night as I grip on to save my life
I never got a chance to get away
I cannot run from something that was never a separate piece of me
I cannot run, from a shadow, forever a part of me
Delve into my soul, and I will find you there
Your devilish smile that I fell in love with,
That lovely deaths embrace
It’s calling for me from the mirror
Its breath is something that I can’t escape
No matter where I try to run
It will find me
Pulling me in, cutting my skin
Is this what it feels like to die?
Love is a sin that I could never keep in
This darkness is haunting,
I’m alone in my room
Sweaty and naked, and tears in my eyes
Glass on the floor, stains on the rug
(A dream, a dream, no a nightmare)
Dreams can never hurt you,
But I woke up with scars
I thought I could escape it,
But I can never run from a piece that was never separate
I cannot hide from my shadow, for it’s entwined with my soul!
Won’t you delve into my soul, and I am for sure you’ll see yourself there
Your devilish smile that I fell in love with,
If looks could kill, I’m sure you could
Your loving beauty calling for me from the mirror;
Your breathe leading me on, I cannot run
No matter where I run
You will always find me
The shadow in the mirror

- Title: A shadow in the mirror
- Artist: Archaetura
- Description: I wrote this song during a time in my life a year ago where I felt that I was going to fail, that love would never find me, that I would never find love. A time when I wasn't so very optimistic. My shadow is always there haunting me, taunting me, but I can fight it now. This is how it felt back in those days of blood.
