Lyrics for Mirror Of Dreams

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 ever 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 Ore mere reflections in a mirror of dreams?
