Mirror
you lied to me
and like a fool i believed
that you cared about me
that you were there for me
and always i'd turn to the mirror
the image i thought of as myself, my equal
and see a face that wasnt mine but was the same
features of the heart that only my eyes could see
the idiot, the fool, the lover, the hater, betrayed as always
by the mirror
the one who lies that's suppose to care...
the one thats always suppose to be there
slowly pulling me down in the shadows away from my light
slowly the image in the mirror dims
slowly, so very slowly, the image changes and disapears
you lied to me and like a fool i believed that you were there for me
and always i'd turn to the mirror
the image of myself
the face that wasnt mine yet the same
for i'm the forsaken one, the idiot, the lier, the fool, the joker, betrayed always by
my image, my mind, myself.
