lyrics

VS 1
LOOKING IN THE GLASS DARKLY LOOKING BACK
THERE’S A VAGUE REFLECTION
STARING AT ME WHO CAN IT BE?
I WONDER CAN HE SEE ME?

VS 2
DOES HE KNOW THAT I’M HERE LOOKING IN HIS EYE?
DOES HE CARE WHO I AM OR WHAT I’VE DONE?
DOES HE LIVE IN BETWEEN THE SILVER AND THE GLASS?
DOES HE KNOW ME FOR WHAT I AM?

M8
THERE WERE TIMES IN MY LIFE I MIGHT HAVE CHANGED
PUTTING RIGHT ALL THE HURT THAT I’VE DONE
THERE’S NO TIME ANYMORE TO RE-ARRANGE
NO GOING BACK TO WHERE I’D BEGUN

SOLO
VS 3
DOES HE KNOW WHO I AM? IM JUST A MAN
ALONE AND FRAIL NO CERTAINTY
TRYING TO FIND SOME PEACE OF MIND
WHY CAN’T I JUST LET IT BE?

VS4
LIFE IS A GAME WITH NO-ONE ELSE TO BLAME
NO-ONE TO TAKE A LEAD
AND THEN YOU FIND YOUR LIFE IS OUT OF TIME
JUST LIE DOWN AND LET IT BLEED
