Behind The Glass Lyrics

Something isn't right as I awaken in the dark

Something dripping to the rhythm of the pounding of my heart

Vision blurry as my dilating pupils try to compensate and gather

All they can to form an image in the mind

Struggling to stand against the enervation holding me and guided by the walls

I follow halls until I reach the mirror

Coming into focus I can see the picture of myself

Lifeless eyes up above a menacing and wide grin

Don't let them see you, don't let them hear

They will betray you and draw you near

They share your features, your other half

They live in mirrors, behind the glass

Held in the gaze of this wicked doppelganger

One who is not mimicking the movements of my own

Pale eyes stare into the depths of the corners of the crevasses

And hidden pieces deep inside my soul

Reaching through the plane that divides us

I can feel the frigid touch of fingertips that fall against my skin

Penetrating through the dermal matter, entering the mind

Hypnotizing and communicating something deep within

Don't let them see you, don't let them hear

They will betray you and draw you near

They share your features, your other half

They live in mirrors, behind the glass

Oh, I've come to become the unbecoming of a world you accept to be true

Oh, look into the blank eyes, submit and admit my energy transmitted into you

There is no escape, no retreat, no point to resisting, no point to fight this

I need what you've got, an exit into a vessel to where day and night live

Fingers lacing into every molecule of being recreating all the imagery, subconscious and unknown

Pieces of a puzzle interlocking now and spiraling together, fabricating something sinister to show

Mirror on the wall is but a portal to a land where something bitter and intelligent is copying and watching

And awaiting for the moment in between awake and sleeping

When defenses can be lowered and a crossing can occu
