reflections

stare into a gleaming stone, trying to seek new life, it glistened once, now it's unrefined and cold, try to live a perfect life, paint our world in gold, before we realized we were owned and sold, reflections hurt my eyes, waves cut me to size, glimmer in the sun, the brilliance comes undone, worked these minds for far too long, set our lives in stone, the tracks that led us down are overgrown, climb up to a past we'd lost, now the future's old, the embers burn too bright for us to hold, reflections hurt my eyes, waves cut me to size, glimmer in the sun, the brilliance comes undone, reflections hurt my eyes, waves cut me to size, glimmer in the sun, the brilliance comes undone
