Life From A Grave

Raven '03

{ Edelleen pysyttelin suosikkiteemassani. Buffyn puolielämää 6. kaudella }

Blankly I stare at the mirror
My reflection, a stranger to me
You’d think I’d see everything clearer
But the truth is I can’t even see

So what, I was dead but they raised me
And now I am living in hell
And still I must show that I’m happy
I still must pretend I feel well

The thing is I feel my heart beating
But it’s nothing but useless to me
If I can’t even love, why keep trying?
From this life I desire to be free

From a distance I see they’re all living
A life that, for me, is just pain
I’m empty inside, still I’m giving
An impression I’m smiling again

I turn to him now, cause I’m losing
The last part of me that still breathes
Over this life I am choosing
My selfish desires and needs

The passion he brought overwhelmed me
In ways I could never have quessed
And suddenly I was not empty
For a moment I felt I was blessed

I wanted so bad to be better
A sister, a lover, a friend
But things never hold on together
And everything comes to an end

I felt like my grave, had sent out a call
To pull me back down to cold earth
And one part of me, just wanted to fall
The other one dreamt of rebirth

And then came a day and surprised me
Cause I found myself free from the pain
The reflection I knew, I could finally see
And at last I was smiling again.
