Mirror
Like you’d never want to change me
Like every person blames me
My dreams remain salted, merely sand
Seems the whole world shadows my reflection
I’m your Mirror Man
Up and down this jagged path
There come breezes and fazes of the sun
That could only be added to laughs
Decisions that take you from your last gasp
When no one seems to see your face
When water washes your eyes
And you see a blur of the previous four days
When you’ve become the stranger your peers become to adore
When the walk you pave is no longer worth paving
Every muscle becomes sore
Exchange rum for sympathy and beg for no more
When death repeatedly request that you live
Sins swept immediately blessed with one less rib
When the air around you, relaxes everything but you
When your beliefs fall from beneath your feet
And you fuss to cuss about the truth
Should you realize the things around you will vanish
We so desperately want to touch the things we can’t stand to miss
I’ll be here looking back at you, demanding your kiss
Like you’d never want to change me
Like every person blames me
My dreams remain salted merely sand
Seems the whole world shadows my reflection
For I am your Mirror Man
