Mirror Walls
Everyone, and everyone
Who plays with the fire
Anyone whos anyone
Can see its the last of desires
Now go runnaway
Don't look at me please
Now go run and play
But your scars will become your burdons
You lie to me
You force acts of sin upon yourself
You ask me, why can't I be more like you
You'll never be me, your hardly someone else
These words written here
These lines of analogy, metaphore, sophisticated words
I shall learn these rules
And shall be glorified, and Known as the teen with words unheard
You ask me, why can't I be more like you
You constantly follow what you chase
You ask me, why can't I do what you do
You honestly think you can just pop into this place
You've got it all wrong
As I ask you, why can't I be more like you
You look at me with a smiling face and with gentle words
You already are, You are who you most fear and you fear your truth
These walls,
They're all made of mirrors
This place I'm in feeling as big as a palace
With the mirrored effect of a never ending reflection, onward into paradox
I look up upon the sky
And blink down towards the floor
I find myself outside the box
Outside the box of mirrors
