    Life Inside

    by: Andragonia

    Can you hear my silent screams?
    Can't you see I'm screaming out your name?
    From here where I stand
    It's all so clear to me
    Now I can see myself drowning into tears
    Echoes screaming inside my head
    There's no one to take and to hold my hand
    There where I stood I thought I could never fail
    All my desires drove me insane
    I was not prepared to lose that fight against myself
    I see through you beyond your eyes
    I'm flying with my broken wings
    I'm looking for the one I am

    Mirror I'm calling you, show me my cold face
    Look in my eyes, show me the reasons
    Tell my why!
    And now I wanna know where my life could go
    Heaven or hell,
    Evil or angel,
    I don't know...
    I see through you beyond your eyes
    I'm flying with my broken wings
    I'm looking fot the one I am
    There's still time to open up my eyes and realize
    I see through you beyond your eyes
    I'm flying with my broken wings
    I'm looking for the one I am
    There's still time to open up my eyes and realize:
