Mirror - Mike Schmid

The mirror lied to me today
It told me I'm a ghost
A floating head with ragged sheets
And obvious transparency
And I can't touch the one I love the most
And I can't touch the one I love the most

The mirror lied to me today
It told me I'm a demon
With teeth so black and a soul so dark
And dirty slugs beneath my heart
And only doing evil
And only doing evil

Mirror mirror on the wall
The least that you could do is fall
And break into a lake of glass
And I'll pretend I'm free at last
But maybe I was lying all along
And you're the only one who proved me wrong

The mirror told the truth today
It told me I'm a zombie
With sunken eyes and too-tight skin
And arms outstretched to pull you in
And no more life inside me

The mirror told the truth today
It told me I'm a vampire
With sharpened teeth and darkened robes
And nowhere, really, else to go
And sucking away your life
Sucking away your life

Mirror mirror on the wall
The least that you could do is fall
And break into a lake of glass
And I'll pretend I'm free at last
But maybe I was lying all along
And you're the only one who proved me wrong
