Through The Looking Glass

I'll do what I can

But you shouldn't be expecting much

All I can be counted on

Is that I will probably let you down

 

The world is drowning

And the future is tearing itself apart

These feelings that I try to hide

Only show themselves when we collide

 

Let me fade

As fate takes me to another day

Watch me fade

Watch me fade away

 

You wait impatiently for the revelation

As I bask in my desolation

It comes to me like a crystal vision

That I'm the key to my salvation

 

All at once, it's clear

The reason I am here

And I'll go through the Looking Glass

Willingly, though I won't be coming back

 

Let me fade

As fate takes me to another day

Watch me fade

Watch me fade away

Through the Looking Glass.
