Sleep Walk

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm not sure how, or even why I wrote this
But it's that type of evening and bleeding helps me focus
I watch every night as my window becomes a mirror
The Sun hides her face to replace where my tears were
Waytz, can you hear her? That's something about the night
I look out at the city and pity all them pretty lights
But right now I'm feeling trapped, can't deal with that
So I step into the darkness so I can feel the splash
Of black that's cast upon my path
Makes a mask for those below slumbering on glass
Wandеring off track, no expectations
Not planning to walk back, undetеrmined destination
My breath is taken, if I'm not mistaken, that's myself
Sitting on that bench it could be, it couldn't be no one else
I froze in my tracks holding it back, supposing that
I could approach this cat as if I don't know his ass
I tapped his knapsack shoulder strap, he turned around with a grin
I was smiling at me but I was frowning at him
First enjoyment then disappointment to troubled thought
The bubble pops, the rubble rocks, now I see I'm double crossed
It could be fear or anger cuz I'm near a stranger
I've known my whole life, the reflection in the puddle talks
I got my sanity in one hand, proof I'm only one man
And in the other the unknown, and now I wonder what'll drop...
Drop!

[Hook]
You see, I see my reflection in the puddles of rain
As an image of me and he thinks the same
I went search and got lost within the depths of the black hole
And realized I'm just a reflection of my shadow

[Verse 2]
So there he sat, in awkward silence with teary eyes
Had to muffle the sound so she wouldn't hear me cry
Clearly, I felt obligated to provide some comfort
Who knew that this relationship would only last the summer?
If I could only freeze time to stop the world from spinning
Rewind to the beginning and never see the ending
Subconsciously pretending that we would last forever
Severed connections that couldn't go back together
I couldn't look at her reaction to the message I'd relayed
I was living in the past, now I'm wishing that I had stayed
Searching for something to say to make it all better
I could only watch the tears absorb into her sweatshirt
My head hurt, I had swollen glands
Relationship changed with the weather, no longer were we holding hands
Frozen plans had unthawed, began to spoil
Tried to sugarcoat the truth and bury it beneath the soil
The road that lay ahead was an individual path
So I left her sitting there with the pain in her lap
You see, I wanna run back when I'm supposed to go forward
And reversing the gears would only add to the disorder

[Bridge x2]
I wanted to be at the start instead of being apart
But how could I leave her side when she had a piece of my heart?

[Hook x2]
You see, I see my reflection in the puddles of rain
As an image of me and he thinks the same
I went search and got lost within the depths of the black hole
And realized I'm just a reflection of my shadow

[Verse 3]
A reflection of you? You're a reflection of me
I'm a hollow figure, not a splinter of your thoughts
Although I'm always by your side the different places that you walk
How can you glare into a mirror unaware of the other side?
When we meet, we don't speak, we just stare into each other's eyes
You wonder why I came to be and what the symbol is?
You're a reflection of me, I'm a reflection of your ignorance
I disobey laws of gravity, sight and sound
Sometimes I'm looking out your mirror when you're not around
You're my negative space, I'm your negative space, a repetitive face
You spend your life trying to be better than me, a competitive race
I live a life of my own, mimicking your movement
And when you think you see me blink, you dismiss it as illusion
I remember that summer night, sitting there in awkward silence
A distant world with that girl, she wasn't the only one you cried with
No words to explain it with, the end of the relationship
But I knew it had to die (Why?) Cuz I had already made the trip
You weren't sure why but you knew it had to end
Walk on by and pretend to keep in touch as a friend
I was sitting next to you in the light of the Crescent Moon
Guiding you in the right direction, making suggestions to
So run along as you wish, denying that I exist
You never spoke with me, you never saw me, I'm a myth
Simply hit the light switch, turn your head when I pass your way
Consider me dead when the puddles of rain evaporate
