This song's title was inspired by Silent Hill 2, but although it
shares the theme of someone being created in a person's mind, the
content of the song is more similar to "Reflections".
The "death" at the end of the song comes from the realisation that
there is a point where a fantasy is no longer needed...

I saw you in another's mind, standing all alone
I took you in and named you, made you one of my own
Fragments of you taken from other dreamers' minds
You are one of many, but you're one of a kind
So vivid in my head
Here within, you've nothing to fear
I am your life, I made your universe
Trapped inside my mind
Forever I'll keep you here
Born from a wish - You were born from imagination
Born from a wish - You exist in a fantasy
Born from a wish - And forever you'll be undying with me
Born from a wish
I built my walls around you, protected in this shell
A fantasy to cling to, away from the real world
Created in my mind because you can't exist
I'll protect you always, there's no chance to resist
So vivid in my head
As long as I live, you will too
I am your life, I made your universe
Trapped inside my mind
But this dream can never come true
Born from a wish - You were born from imagination
Born from a wish - You exist in a fantasy
Born from a wish - And forever you'll be undying with me
Born from a wish
I can see everything, future and past
Your life is in my hands, first to the last
Kept here forever in my domain
Your torture will be without pain
I made your life, I was your universe
Lost inside my mind
But every dream must end
Born from a wish - You were born from imagination
Born from a wish - You exist in a fantasy
Born from a wish - Now I see that the time has come to set you free
Born from a wish - And you died before my eyes
Born from a wish - Our time together was enough
Born from a wish - You had your life, now you're released
You were born from a wish, now you rest in peace
