Analysis of Figment of Infinity...



What does the mirror show...
When no ones there to see?
A world not there unless I am.
So what does that make me?
A joke?
A God?
...Or something else?
The thing that should not be.

Where do emotions go...
When I no longer feel?
They fade into the future...
Where later they can be revealed.
Outside of time; Behind the mind.
In a place that can't be real...

How do you see the truth...
When all the worlds a lie?
When everything around you...
Slowly fades and dies.
When those who you most trusted
Become those who you despise..
...Become the truth
And there's your proof.
This world is you and I.
