The Mirror Lyrics

Every time it meets my eyes

I never seem to recognize

The mirror and the way it lies to me

This reflection, is a shallow case

Of the person that I stand and face

When I look down and disgrace the one I see

I pick apart every spot

To look at all the things I'm not

And forget to appreciate who I've become

And the person I should love so much

Has grown completely out of touch

Like they've forgotten the place they started from

Apparition, don't you lie to me

If there's no truth in what I see

Won't you spare me the embarrassment and shame?

I can keep on walking forward now

If no one seems to care anyhow

There's a feeling that I've never learned to tame

A rolling over, never-ending game

I need to heal the holes of life

And not resort to the pocket knife

Opening up the wounds beneath my skin

And I long to not be feeling low

Yet it feels I have so much to go,

And oftentimes it's as if I can't begin

I know there's people looking up to me

But in the dark they're hard to see

On the days when I can't even say my name

And even if I find my way again

I know there will be a moment when

That old shadow comes to haunt another day

All my life it stands within my way
