lyrics

COUPLET 1
Memories leave a trace
In the grain of your skin,
The shape of your thoughts,
The sag of your shoulders.

If I go back to living
I’ll spend my days
Carrying that weight around
To slowly make it mine.

I’ll learn to say your name
And remember your face,
Carry you like a keepsake
Of days forever gone.

Slide back into the world
Without you by my side,
And learn to reconcile
With the man in the mirror.

COUPLET 2
Memories leave a stain
In the fabric of time,
The folds of your name,
The twist of your mind.

I’ll learn to bend my conscience
To a shape I can hold
In the palm of my hand
And claim again as mine.

I’ll shed you like a skin
That stuck so long to mine.
I’ll learn to walk alone
And outlive your silence.

Slide back into the world
Without you by my side,
And learn to reconcile
With the man in the mirror.

REFRAIN
There’s a man in the mirror
Wearing my face,

He bears my conscience,
Speaks my silence,

Carries my skin
Like the hide of a beast

Has a path to tread,
A life to be lived,


I need to embrace
The man I’ve become,
To still that voice
That spoke at night,
To still that voice
That was mine all along.

PONT TERNAIRE
Now you live in my dreams,
Brother, shadow,
To sweet oblivion, deep and mellow.

Now I can leave you in peace,
Let your memory grow
And finally tame the sorrow,
Finally learn to let go.

COUPLET 3 ALTERNATIF
The streets awaken
From their delusion,
Slowly shaking
From their confusion.

The heavy mist
Is slowly fading,
Streets are stirring
To greet the morning.

This is the town, this is the place,
This is the life I must embrace.

REFRAIN ALTERNATIF
This is a new morning,
Casting a new light
On deeply buried fears,
On ever shifting lives.

A new day rises
On peaceful gardens,
On blue horizons,
And quiet waters.

Echoing voices
Bloom all over town
And call the wayward son
To his forgotten home.

This is a new morning,
Casting a new light
On deeply buried fears,
On ever shifting lives.

A new day rises
On peaceful gardens,
On blue horizons,
And quiet waters.


Echoing voices
Bloom all over town
And call the wayward son
To his forgotten home.

COUPLET 4 ALTERNATIF
The streets are breathing
With life remembered
And slowly waking
From their deep slumber.

The streets are shedding
Their misty shroud,
Their veil of bleakness,
Their nightly guise.

The city’s nightmares
Are slowly fading
To leave the landscape
Reborn and clean.

The streets are real
Under my soles,
So safe and solid
To tread upon.

This is the town, this is the place,
This is the life I must embrace.
This is my truth,
It may be cruel but it’s mine to face,
Mine to remember.

REFRAIN ALTERNATIF
This is a new morning,
Casting a new light
On deeply buried fears,
On ever shifting lives.

A new day rises
On peaceful gardens,
On blue horizons,
And quiet waters.

This is a new morning,
Casting a new light
On deeply buried fears,
On ever shifting lives.

A new day rises
On peaceful gardens,
On blue horizons,
And quiet waters.

PONT CHANTÉ
Here I come, here I walk,
Brotherless but alive,
Brotherless but sane,

I’m finally home
To stare at the mirror,
Listen to the mirror,
Find myself in the mirror.

I’m freed from that voice
That was never yours,
That deceitful voice,
That misleading voice.

I’m finally home,
Brotherless but alive,
Brotherless but sane.

REFRAIN
There’s a man in the mirror
Wearing my face,

He bears my conscience,
Speaks my silence,

He carries my skin
Like the hide of a beast

He has a path to tread,
A life to be lived,

I need to embrace
The man I’ve become,
To still that voice
That spoke at night,
To still that voice
That was mine all along.
