The illusion of you near
Is reflecting off the mirror
Of my lust, my love for you
Coupled up with you coming around
My delusion and fear
And the things to which I won't adhere
Before my death, call it rest
That's what I was taught is waiting near
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Am I worth the skin at all?
Spilling my guts out to you
Please just give me the truth
Oh god, here I go again
Talking to myself like my only friend
Thoughts so unclear
I don't have what I hold most dear
My precious past and my innocence
I wish things were as close as they appear
Mirror, mirror on the wall
I look on as your tear drops fall
Break at the will of my fist
Flow through the veins to my chest
Oh god, here I go again
Talking to myself like my closest friend
Oh god, here I go again
Talking out loud when I should keep it in
