The Mirror

We can't see the Mirror we can only see ourselves/
Trapped between our Heavens and stuck between our Hells/

We can't see the Mirror we can only see our skin/
Falsely loved by enemy, quietly hated by friend/

We can't see the Mirror we can only see our flaws/
Covered in make-up, hiding our beautiful scars/

We can't see the Mirror we can only see our dreams/
"I want to be special! I want to do amazing things!"/

We can't see the Mirror we can only see our past/
Crying nights fill the towering hour glass/

We can't see the Mirror we can only see our gods/
Our fantasy Idols and Hollywood movie stars/

We can't see the Mirror we can only see our smiles/
Our happiest moments tossed on the fire piles/

We can't see the Mirror we can only see our wrists/
The razor in my hand gives it a sweet kiss/

We can't see the Mirror we can only see our shoes/
Lying on the floor, too much blood do we lose/

We can't see the Mirror we can only see our angels/
Fighting demons in our stead because we are unable/

We can't see the Mirror we can only see our light/
It covers us now, to answer our dark plight/

We can't see the Mirror we can only see our watch/
I could of left this world, but then again I'd rather not/
