Such a beautiful song that I have listened to many times since it was released several years ago.  Not quite the vocal quality of Amy Lee but gave it my best shot! 😊.  Just a demo as it needs a bit more production work.  I have not mastered the track so it's a little quiet... you will have to turn me up :-)

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
And you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
You still have all of me ah, me ah, me ah

My Immortal Cover (Demo)

Silver Thread

"Through the Shattered Mirror" by RayGem83 is a sonic journey into the fractured realms of consciousness. Blending dark Goa trance with raw Dubstep energy at a relentless 150 BPM, this concept album explores a haunted mirrorworld – a place where echoes become noise, shadows become enemies, and reality unravels.

Each track pulls you deeper: from the eerie calm of the intro to the pulse-pounding chaos of Fighting off a Ghost and the hallucinated rhythm of Trippin'. The album culminates in Scared to Death, before fading into the abyss with the final Outro.

Expect distorted basslines, hypnotic synths, and haunting atmospheres — a soundtrack for those who dare to stare back into the mirror.

Hiding in the Dark

Entering the Ghost Realm

In front of the Mirror

Trippin'

Time's runnin' out
What's it gonna be?
Somebody's waitin'
Is it you or is it me?
I didn't see the signs
You saw me comin'
You took my breath away
Right from the beginning

I get caught up
Then I can't find the words
I try to speak
But it just gets worse

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Stargazer
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Stargazer

Do you see the future
As a big black hole?
'Cause I've been lost
But you've been in control
I'm ready to give in
I'm ready to surrender
I'll take a leap of faith
And I'll fall into forever

And I get caught up
Then I can't find the words
I try to speak
But it just gets worse

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Stargazer
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Stargazer

Goodbye Written in Static

Some people hand out life advice like candy from the good neighborhood…
mostly because nothing in their life has ever punched back.

So here’s a little anthem for everyone who’s been “motivated” at by someone
who’s never had rent taped to the fridge,
never juggled bills like a circus act,
never had groceries judge them from the cart,
and somehow still thinks grinding is a personality trait.

If you’ve ever smiled politely while someone with soft hands explained “hard work”…
this one’s for you.

Listen, dance, mutter under your breath,
and feel free to forward this to any buddy who’s ever blessed you with a tip
you didn’t ask for.


[Intro]

Funny thing about advice 
the people who give the most of it
have lived the least of it.
But go ahead.
Show me the way.

[Verse 1]

Clock hits eight, I’m already irritated,
Pressed polo guy asks if I’ve “tried being motivated.”
He irons his jeans like it's personality,
Sips his tea slow like effort’s optional reality.
Love the confidence from a guy whose biggest crisis
was oat milk or almond  must’ve been rough.
Sure thing, champ  let me pause my actual life
and follow the path you drew on a quiet, well-rested night.

[Pre-Chorus]

Look at you go, preaching from comfort,
handing out lines you’ve never had to earn.
Real strong voice for a man who’s never carried weight 
but yeah, thanks for the update.

[Chorus]

Thanks for the tip, buddy 
I’ll get right on that.
All your perfect answers
from your nice little mat.
Thanks for the tip, buddy 
love that confidence.
I’m sure your weekend seminar
really covered that.

[Post-Chorus]

“Work harder,” yeah yeah  heard it before.
“Do better,” sure man  add it to the score.
You’re loud for someone
who’s never been pressed.
Big words, small test.

[Verse 2]

Susan at the office with her “just push further,”
her water bottle says “Hustle Harder”  of course it does.
Never had rent taped to the fridge like a warning,
never had a choice hit harder than a paycheck.
And then there’s the guy with the perfect haircut,
talking grit like he’s lived in a rut,
teaching survival in a world
where consequences politely step aside.
Oh yes, professor  show me how you thrive
in a world where the ground never fights your stride.

[Pre-Chorus]

Look at you glow, untouched by worry,
Dropping catchphrases like you’re in a hurry.
Real smooth talk for someone who’s never fallen flat 
but hey, I’ll take notes on that.

[Chorus]

Thanks for the tip, buddy 
I’ll get right on that.
All your perfect answers
from your nice little mat.
Thanks for the tip, buddy 
love that confidence.
I’m sure your weekend seminar
really covered that.

[Post-Chorus 2]

“Work harder”  from someone who’s never been sore.
“Do better”  sure, I’ll add it to the pile I ignore.
You’ve got solutions
you’ve never had to test.
Big voice, no stress.

[Bridge]

Every word you drop floats  nothing heavy ever sticks.
Easy to give orders when life’s never pushed you.
You talk like survival’s just a mindset trick.
Try breathing in my air for a week.

[Final Chorus]

Thanks for the tip, buddy 
I’ll get right on that.
All your perfect answers
from your nice little mat.
Thanks for the tip, buddy 
love that confidence.
I’m sure your whole philosophy
wouldn’t last three days in my life.

[Outro]

Yeah.
Thanks for the tip.


Thanks For the Tip, Buddy
