Shattered Mirrors

Pretty little lies The world whispers in your ears Pretty little lies You whisper them back Fake little smiles You smile in their faces Fake little smiles They smile behind your back Perpetual pleasurers Sing your name Join their hands And light a flame Heat a rod and brand your back Label your worth and shame The pendulum halts When stars reflect in those eyes no more When your soul sinks down to the depths of the sea Do you remember who you were Before the world told you who you should be?
