Life

Look in the mirror Years before Your simple reflection, nothing much more But inside is where your personality shines Like a sun peeking out through the blinds The familiar face and familiar smile That kind personality should stay for a while. Fast-forward to maybe Ten years now Your simple reflection, yet you wonder how When people tell you that so much has changed What do they mean, you're still the same But inside is where your personality dims Like a cloud on the sun on evil whims The familiar face and familiar smile This new personality might stay for for a while. Now look in the mirror On this very day Your simple reflection, nothing's wrong today Maybe not on the outside, but can you tell from there When greed overtakes, and you don't even care About on the inside, your personality's black The sun disappeared, not to come back As its lost in the galaxy of all-consuming space Sucking you in, you're out of the race The familiar face and brand-new frown There's no personality, your heart has fallen down.
