Reflections
Soul Sanctuary Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Reflections in the glass of a broken home, I'm a stanger to everyone I used to know.
This air is poisioned by the taste of regret, stained with the memories I only wish I couls forget.

Bury the shattered remains of this legacy of pain.
Another eternity standing in line, waiting for the day of this never-ending night.

With a lost stare, my nightmares are slowly becoming reality
Every step I take I'm fighting for this life.
And as I scream will these bad dreams, ever be laid to rest?
I won't suffer from this guilt, that doesn't belong to me.

As you look inside yourself
You see the shards of a broken soul
Worn down by this life you know
And now you, have no where left to go.

Another eternity standing in line, waiting for the dat of this never-ending night.

With a lost stare, my nightmares are slowly becoming reallity
Every step I take I'm fighting for this life.
And as I scream will these bad dreams, ever be laid to rest?
I won't suffer from this guilt, that doesn't belong to me.

With a lost stare, my nightmares are slowly becoming reallity
Every step I take I'm fighting for this life.




And as I scream will these bad dreams, ever be laid to rest?
I won't suffer from this guilt, that doesn't belong to me.

And now you, have no where left to go.
Feeling lost and directionless, unsure of where to turn next.
