Redefined: A Piano Album
Track 4 "Through the Mirror"

(music and performance by George R. Powell, lyrics by Brian Buyea)

You can't look away
it's alive
Now you're staring back
the image burns so clearly

And so begins it once again
The piercing blood-red stare
And so begins it once again

The blood-red stare
The blood-red stare

Now I'm awake
I am awake
But trying to see it clearly
Awake but so ashamed
I can see it lying still
Oh God awake
This vicious wheel is turning
Awake oh say awake
This nightmare's coming in

If I could touch the pain
I wouldn't feel so empty inside
Feeling so desperately alive
And becoming unafraid
I'll be clawing at the glass
Screaming so clearly
To let me in

TO let me in
To let me in

I can see so clear now
The image inside me
It's all so real
Staring straight back
Oh this life I live
Please say I'm not dreaming
Oh this life I live
Please say that I'm not dreaming

"Good"

Something about the singing style is a bit weird to me. The piano is wonderful though. You did an amazing job on this. I applaud you. You should get signed by a record company or something. You're definitely better than me at composing.

"Awesome!"

I don't think I'm ever going to get sick of hearing your piano peices.
I really dig the lyrics as well.

Author's Response:

Actually, these lyrics were written by Brian Buyea, a good friend of mine. Our lyrical styles are very different. His lyrics are poems, whereas my lyrics are messages (for the most part. From time to time I try poetic lyrics, although most of those attempts are the "Twilight" album).

Thanks for the feedback.
