James Allen Poet Lyric

Lonely Is the Mirror

Damn you Narcissus,
You've locked her in this cage
A cage so empty from blindness
She sees what I deny

Cause lonely is the mirror 
She sees your soul
Your loves your fears
And your mind as glycerol 

My blindness is creeping behind
My blindness is growing inside
I'm blind to my disguise
But she is not 
She is not 

For lonely is the mirror 
She sees you soul
Your loves your fears
And your mind as glycerol

If a mirror could speak
What might they say?
A mirror might cry
But I wish it would sing
It would sound like all the people
Without their cares of the listening 

But lonely is the mirror 
She sees your soul 
Your loves your fears 
And your mind as glycerol

A reflection so wise
But its lost on far away eyes
She weeps with rust
And in her tears are lost answers
Answers for fear
For lust for love
And disguise 
And the truths to all of your lies!
