You didn’t know what else to do
You couldn’t handle all the pain;
you saved up all your courage
and got a ticket for the runaway train
You bought yourself out of hell
Trying to start something new
But every time that you look back
you know it follows you
You see the hell you left behind
Each time you look into my eyes
The reflection of your inner soul
shows back again all the lies
Trying to return to reality
But fall back in your world of dreams
The dreams are turning into nightmares
But it isn’t exactly as it seems
Inside there is a memory
You try to run; but cannot hide
The monster’s following you close
You slipping further of a landslide
Then you wake up out of your world
and find out where you are staying
The mirror shows an awful ghost
a ghost that has been waiting
Waiting for your blood
for your soul, for your heart
Your tears are streaming like a flood
when you find out you’re back to the start
The train has left, there’s no way back
No further way to seek the love you lack…
