Ayreon - Mirror of Dreams lyrics

3 months ago

The Girl has not seen the
Prodigy since she told him
To leave she reaches out to
His Mother for comfort
Wondering if there wasn't more
She could have done

I feel his shadow looming over me
Leaving me defeated and confused
His eyes still haunt me
If only I'd done more
Maybe I gave up on him too soon

I share your sorrow, but we are not to blame
His heart has always been a mystery

We'll never fathom, we'll never understand
Did he never need us, were we real
Or mere reflections in a mirror of dreams?

What holds his future, how will he survive?
Without us to save him from himself
Where has he run to, will he return?
I hope he knows I wish him well

It's up to him now, there's nothing we can do
I fear we cannot give him what he needs

Are we but phantoms inside his tangled mind?
Will he ever need us, are we real
Or mere reflections in a mirror of dreams?
