lyrics

I’ve looked at you, I’ve seen nothing new everything just reflecting back at me.
I can’t escape this shine you cast off.
It’s me in my most true and terrible form
in my one form I now see this, this other.
I’ve always tried to outrun my new self, my other self.
Now that I’m constantly confronted with my fear, I who was always so proud so strong so unaware
will now meet my new ego,
in my sub conscience we look at each other and we size each other up
We talk we converse but all we say we both know.
Such a strong and fragile tension. We created it and we savour it, enjoy it.
Always together but always alone.

Mirror Mirror on the wall,
Who is the scariest of them all.
Is it me, who stands here, shaking
Every hour here, I’m breaking
All this time I see your face
Existing in this undefined space
You are neither here nor there
I won’t escape, I swear

We could smash it and break it, but it would never leave us it would never break us apart.
We are one. Always will and should be.

Mirror, mirror, mirror, mirror
Oh mirror, show me mirror
Myself I fear, I shiver
I won’t die, I’ll deliver
I’ve seen my face in the mirror
Mirror, mirror, face me mirror
I’ve seen the face of my mirror
Mirror, please deface my mirror

I walked around, I walked, WE walked.
Oh the miles we walked. There was a beach there was an ocean.
Oh I drowned you in it Oh I drowned you Oh I drowned you in my tears, my sorrow, my desperation,
devastation in the salt lakes, the salt lakes of my fear.
I never thought about you. All those miles we walked and never were we together.

(I want us to meet now for real
I need to meet you, NOW, to feel)

mirror mirror on the wall
who is the scariest of them all
I’ve built you up so high
It’s about time I shot you from my sky
I’ll reach through this rigid surface
Hope to see through this empty canvas
I’ll face this face in the mirror
It wears my face my (t)error
