lyrics

When you're looking at your reflection
You see a dangerous figure
You can't quite recognize the features
A trace from another dimension

Eyes meeting from across the room
Something that would make flowers bloom
Only then you realize
They were poison in disguise

So you tell everybody you won't fade with nothing to say
But deep down you keep wishing the shadows would take you away
You won't fight your own reflection
Now you're facing Annihilation

Simply no chance to chide
The tide will wash you aside
Crippled like a leaf in the autumn breeze
Peeling like the bark of dead trees

It's inside your head all day
It keeps sending your demons away
Visions of blood on the wall
The barrel will leave you to crawl

So you tell everybody you won't fade with nothing to say
But deep down you keep wishing the shadows would take you away
You won't fight your own reflection
Now you're facing Annihilation

So you tell everybody you won't fade with nothing to say
But deep down you keep wishing the shadows would take you away
You won't fight your own reflection
Now you're facing Annihilation
