by Arithion
I watch the reflections, shadows on the wall
Ever a part, yet nothing at all
Reminiscing about times gone by
When I was young, when I could fly
My pulse heavy, the triggers potent
I see those faces, eternal lament
A heavy heart and remorse I bear
Second guessing what was there
They laugh around me and I pretend
That what I wanted, I got in the end
If someone could see my souls despair
Maybe they'd wake me, maybe I'd care
Wars are over, years gone past
Nothing that's gained will ever last
Peace was won but what did we gain?
An end to loss, an end to pain?
Questioning now, as I did then
When will I learn to live again?
When will I learn to forgive myself?
And not blame me, but somebody else?
But then maybe no one is to blame
So I sit here huddled behind ill won fame
And dwell on the past I still somehow miss
That passed me by ... like a fleeting kiss
