Reflections lyrics

Stare into a gleaming stone Trying to seek new light It glistened once, now its 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 Rays cut me to size Glimmer in the sun The brilliance comes undone We worked these mines for far too long Set our lives in stone The tracks that lead us down are overgrown Climb out to a past we'd lost Now the future's old The embers burned too bright for us to hold
