Sōmaphore - Insects in Amber Lyrics

How did you fall so far
From the ghost preserved in backward memories?
How did you get so young?
Were you never as old as you made me think you were?

Were you scared of the change
That would have brought you home?
I would have never believed it
If I hadn't've seen it myself
You were so desperately tragic
And yet you always avoided the drama
I don't see an improvement
In the slipstream course you're set upon

You're branding
Your own rate of decay
You can't see it
But I'll keep holding up this mirror
Until you see the ashen face
I once called lovely

And though I wish I could give you wisdom
It wouldn't do any good, any good, any good
Now that you've lost control
And I don't have your answers
I don't think you'll find them on your own
So look to me again

As you once did for amusement
Yeah, I'll show you your reflection
And guide you back to when you were yourself
Not this pale rendition
That's fading you far from grace
And making you someone else
