Reflection

I am becoming aware now
Of what they've done to me
I've got your ordinary disease

Tomorrow comes and nothing has changed
Yesterday was a perfect reflection of today

Do you remember your dreams
Did they ever look like this

I wish I could be there
As you prepare another blank stare
Not willing to admit
You've already become all you could have been

There was a time
When you refused to follow
Before you learned the beauty of shame
Before you left me behind
To drown in the afterglow

Somewhere along the line
Between when I said goodbye
And when I realized
I couldn't remember the color of your eyes

I lost the ability to truly shine

I tried to smile for you
I really did
