Mister Mirror Lyrics

I have a secret power

That lets me change my face

Every bone in my body

Is replaced

I've been the baker with his heavy hands

I've been the soldier in a foreign land

I've been every kind of person so very many times

I'm not sure who I was when this began

I'm a copy, I'm a clone

I have no face of my own

And the mask I wear before you

Hides a fool who's all alone

You can call me Mister Mirror

Though I might not be a man

For the life that I am living

Is forever secondhand

Secondhand

Won't you please understand?

Oh it's a wild transformation

To move inside another person's skin

Still I remain in isolation

For the faces never fill the space within

But if you'd like to see it

It isn't hard to do

Just reach over here and touch me

I'll be you

Won't you let me draw you nearer

See yourself a little clearer

In the eyes of Mister Mirror

History's greatest disappearer

Bring to me the mouth and nose

The tensed brow, the fidget toes

The rib that aches, the heart that knows

The love and hate a lifetime chose

I'll taste the sweet and bitter upon your tongue

I'll choke the smoke and glitter that glaze your lungs

I shall know you as no other ever has or ever will

Though I know that you could never do the same

I'm a copy, I'm a clone

I have no face of my own

And the mask I wear before you

Hides a fool who's all alone

You can call me Mister Mirror

Though I might not be a man

For the life that I am living

Is forever secondhand

Secondhand

Won't you please understand?

I'm a copy, I'm a clone

I have no face of my own

And the mask I wear before you

Hides a fool who's all alone

You can call me Mister Mirror

Though I might not be a man

For the life that I am living

Is forever secondhand

Secondhand

So if you'd like to see it

You know what to do

Just reach over here and touch me

Oh, won't you please just reach over here

And touch me
