When I first wrote this song  I had just finished an intensive outpatient week long workshop for survivors of sexual abuse.  The issues addressed  during that week dug into my core and the grief was the most intense I'd ever felt and yet I realized that I had come to a place where I could not cry anymore. The last line was originally written the way you hear the recorded song "now the ghost has disappeared from the mirror",  however, I couldn't sing it that way whenever I performed because it wasn't the truth even though I was so ready for the ghost to be gone.  Instead  I sang "now the ghost is disappearing from the mirror".  Over a long period of time after the nightmares stopped, no new memories emerged, and the depression started to lift, I very happily went back to singing the original ending.

I've come to the place beyond the void
embracing the emptiness inside the hole
I've searched the darkness at the depth of my soul
and found myself abandoned long ago

Now I'm beyond tears
Yes, I'm beyond tears
There's a ghost looking back in the mirror

Time loses meaning when a day seems like years
I'm lost in the grays of my colorless fears
I'm free floating on a long and endless chain
of anxious thoughts and physical pain

Now I'm beyond tears
Yes, I'm beyond tears
There's a ghost looking back in the mirror

I've reached the core where the madness began
I've seen the whore of what I'll never understand
With shattered glass lying on the floor
I close my eyes and wait for the open door

Searching for peace among people at war
Striving for balance is an endless chore
I'm holding on at the edge of the night
for the light of day -- I know it's in sight

As I let go of all my fears
I let go of all my tears
I let go of all those years

Let go all my fears
Let go all my tears
Let go all those years

Now the ghost has disappeared from the mirror
