Silent in the night
A ripple at first light
A problem coming clear
To many things to do
I thought then that I knew
Solutions on the rise
Inside

After several tries
I learned of ancient ties
And ventures forth to seize
This opportunity
Won't let it slip by me
Until it was too late for me
Tried to be

I know what went wrong
Pulled myself along for the ride
What could this be
When my reflection became me

Not a shed of self control
While I'm wringing out my soul
It's too late to turn away
A part of me, now more
Think I've seen this all before
Should have seen the end when it began
Instead I swam

With the panic in the air
Reaching hights we couldn't bare
So they tried to right my wrongs
Put them back where they belong
Took a risk to bring my end
All to satisfied my friends
I tried, now petrified

Behind the light
(So the story goes)
Gone now from making it right
My end I paved
(So the story goes)
Just soft reflections in the waves

Believing I had won
I smiled at the sun
My pride welled up in me
Turns out it was my fall
A mistake after all

So now I've seen my ways
The reflection slowly fades
And I slowly fade away
And I slowly fade away
