Senescence

This scene replays every night in my head
 All the meaning of my life seems to coalesce
 There's a mirror that leads straight to my death
 My reflection is a terror of regret
 Helpless I become paralyzed
 Before the eyes of death and what do I see?
 Its gaze reflected back upon my meaningless apathy
 Depraved—the weight of a life lived in vain
 Ever searching, ever tired
 Just wishing for a life that feels alive
 I Sink into its gaze
 Pain! Every look is pain
 Sink into its gaze
 Pain! Every look is pain
 If death is a mirror then all I see
 Is my own regret bearing down on me
 So I'll come out and say it
 What I can't believe
 I am the terror in front of me
 I Sink into its gaze
 Pain! Every look is pain
 I'm pulled with each refrain
 To see what I could not perceive
 I turn my eyes to see it shattered
 My reflection of a life lived in vein
 He laid it to rest
 Put it to death
 Before He stepped out of the grave
 Shattered
 My reflection of a life lived in vein
 He laid it to rest—the terror of death
 And now I see the beauty of a life unending
