Ok, My transcription of Mirror Gaze, and official lyrics from Japanese inlay for comparison, because I don't think they are the same(!!) Would welcome anyone else's input who has access to the track, but I think I’m pretty confident with the following:
————————————————————
My transcription, as far as I can tell:
Mirror Gaze
I’ve made some sense of emptiness
I've learnt to love me less and less
I finally let go of my weaker self
I made the crash and I made the wreck
I've got no time to stand and correct
‘Cause everybody hurts
Like the wise man said
I built the rod
For my own back
I got the monkey
Sitting on my neck
Beyond all this
Oblivion runs
Beyond all this
There lies a place for us
Beyond all this
There lies another way
Beyond all this
Oblivion runs
Beyond all this
There lies a place for us
Beyond my eyes
There is a mirror gaze
Only in a poem do you find some truth
The fiction is merely a hiding place
The mirror’s my enemy
The shadows are my friend
I’ve made some sense of emptiness
I've learnt to love me less and less
I finally let go of my weaker self
I built the rod
For my own back
I got the monkey
Sitting on my neck
Beyond all this
Oblivion runs
Beyond all this
There lies a place for us
Beyond all this
There lies another way
Beyond all this
Oblivion runs
Beyond all this
There lies a place for us
Beyond my eyes
There is a mirror gaze
There lies another way
There lies another way
Beyond all this
Oblivion runs
Beyond all this
There lies a place for us
Beyond all this
There lies another way
Beyond all this
Oblivion runs
Beyond all this
There lies a place for us
Beyond all this
There lies another way

and now the official printed lyrics… such as they are… !
———————————————————————————————————
Mirror Gaze
I made some sense of emptiness
I've learnt to love me less and less
I've finally let go of my weaker self
I made the crash and I made the wreck
I've got no time to stand and correct
Cause everybody hurts
Like the wise man said
I felt that I brought it
Down on my head
I got the monkey
sitting on my bed
The end of this
I believe you’re wrong
The end of this
There lies a place for us
The end of this
There lies another way
The end of this
I believe you’re wrong
The end of this
There lies a place for us
Beyond my eyes
There meets a mirror gaze
Only in a poem do you find some truth
The fiction was really a hiding place
Then it was my enemy
The shadows are my friends
I make some sense of emptiness
I’ve learnt to love me less and less
I finally let go of my weaker self
I felt that I brought (it)
Down on my head
I got the monkey
sitting on my bed
The end of this
I believe you’re wrong
The end of this
There lies a place for us
Beyond my eyes
There lies another way
The end of this
I believe you’re wrong
The end of this
There lies a place for us
Beyond my eyes
There meets a mirror gaze
(There) lies another way
(there) lies another way
The end of this
I believe you’re wrong
The end of this
There lies a place for us
Beyond my eyes
There lies another way
