Unconscious relaxation

There's another vivid surprise

Another whole life waiting

Chapters unfinished, fading

 There's a house I'm drawn into

With a haunting chill in the air

There's room at the top of the stairs
 Ab6Ab6 Ab(b5)        F5F5
Every night I'm drawn up there
 F(b5)         FF   F5F5
There's a girl in the mirror

Her face is getting clearer

In her eyes - I sense a story never told
F#5F#5
Behind the disguise - There's something tearing at her soul

Back on my feet again
E5E5           G5G5 A5A5
Eyes open to real world
E5E5           G5G5 A5A5
Metropolis surrounds me
E5E5               G5G5 A5A5
The mirror's shattered the girl
E5E5           G5G5 A5A5
Why is this other life
E5E5           G5G5 A5A5
Haunting me everyday

I'd break through the other side

If only I'd find the way

Something's awfully familiar
C#5C#5
The feeling's so hard to shake

Could I have lived in that other world

Ab5Ab5
The missing key to unlock my mind's door
