[Verse 1] Reality's a mirror In this new morning light The things I can hide Stay low in the night The daylight reveals A truth I won't trust Yet deep in my bones I know that I must [Verse 2] I've been scolded by time It shows on my face I tried so hard But these lines won't erase My youth is folded In a weathered old map The young and the old Where the years overlap [Chorus] What was my reality Is now a blank page Sometimes it's sadness Sometimes it's rage I'm walking a road I didn't choose Can I still win Or did I already lose [Verse 3] I feel like a kid When it's time to come in I sit silent and still Keep the conversation thin Where to from here A question of ages While somewhere inside A new battle rages [Verse 4] I count the mornings I used to waste Back when I thought I had time to spare Now I meet the man in the glass face-to-face And I'm learning to hold his stare [Chorus] What was my reality Is now a blank page Sometimes it's sadness Sometimes it's rage I'm walking a road I didn't choose But I'd rather play the hand Than fold and refuse [Outro] The light keeps coming Whether I'm ready or not So I'll take what's left And spend what I've got (It's a road, I didn't choose, but I'll be damned if I'm going to lose)
