about

The Room and the Mirror - Another strange experience when I was younger, made me write the lyrics to this song. A dream that I thought was a dream, turned out to be real in some aspects, very strange indeed. I wrote the song the following morning.
I have loads of riffs banging about in my head and used one of them as the opening riff to the song. It developed from there.

lyrics

THE ROOM AND THE MIRROR

I OPEN MY EYES AND GET OUT OF MY BED
NOT SURE - WHATS GOING ON,
IS IT ALL IN MY HEAD?
SO I SLOWLY DRIFT BACK TO SLEEP,
CLOSING MY EYES,
BUT IT’S SO HARD TO DO,
ALL I HEAR ARE DESPERATE CRIES,

THERE’S A KNOCK, AND I RUN TO THE DOOR,
I SEE THINGS IN MY ROOM, THAT WERE NOT THERE BEFORE,
I LOOK IN THE MIRROR,
AND SEE A FAMILIAR FACE,
A LOOK OF UNCERTAINTY,
STARING FROM A DIFFERENT PLACE

THE ROOMS GETTING DARKER & ITS HARDER TO SEE,
NOW I KNOW I’M THE ONE THAT IS SCREAMING AT ME,
IS THIS SOME KIND OF REALITY,
AND HAVE THE FANTASIES FLOWN?
I’M NOT SURE WHAT THIS MEANS TO ME
I REALLY NEED TO GET HOME
