I first saw your face in the mirror Hanging on a window I was walking by You looked like someone who had witnessed too much To be able to escape with a smile In your eyes I still could trace a memory Of the islands of joy, a long time ago You used to be so bright and beautiful Now you only look tired and hard And you try to feel something Beyond your sorrow But there is no way back home There is only pain Seeking only pleasure To fill you with feeling To replace this pain And drown your sorrow Who did you think that you are? To escape the powerful hand of faith Why did you think that you had it hard When you were in love with everyone? And you were loved by everyone That you ever wanted to be loved by But there was an end to the dream you were dreaming Like there is an end to all that is real
