hanami - Reflection

I remember a long time ago
So blissfully ignorant and hopeful
I spared no time for thoughts of failure
Nor mind for the paths that sat astride my own
But now things are different

And I can't recall when I stopped looking forward in lieu of gazing upon the ground
Perhaps I am looking whence I shall one day arrive
For I spare no longer a will to be alive
Yes, perhaps I long for rest

No longer do I see out
Beyond here
Slowly withering to naught
As the windows turn to mirrors

No longer do I see
Who I am in my reflection
The world has taken it from me
And now I only see nothing
(Save for the stranger before me)

(I become no one)
As the outset of sonder relieves my sight of color
(And die to the world)
It's better this way
To stay inside and grieve than face the sight of me

For what do I erode so violently?
The radiance I knew has died in me

If you're still alive
Just say something, say anything
(I can't feel anything)
If you're still inside
Would you let me know at all?
(It's been so long since I felt alive)

If you're still alive
Just say something, say anything
If you're still inside
Then help me see who I used to be again
(Don't leave me here)
