Snow White
Snow White
Laci Nelson
Mirror, Mirror, on the wall
Do I even know myself at all
Who is this person in the glass
Is that my face, or just a mask...
Reflections are so easy on the eyes
when eyes are blind and so are lies
I'm scared of what I cannot see
I'm scared of what I might not be...
I stare into the deep brown holes
And try to look into my soul
Behind a wall I've built up strong
Are my intentions good or maybe wrong...
I grasp these thoughts
this strange unknown
of who I am and what i dont yet know
Im only me, a hopeless girl
living in an even more hopeless world...
I know I dont know
who we are
I know i dont know
where to fall
when living gets old and old gets older
to feel what its like when life is over...
Mirror, Mirror, on the wall
So whose the fairest of them all?
It's not the beauty for which i search
but things of intangibilty that just might lurk...
Behind our skin that hides our souls
Behind those thoughts we do not know
They say that Beauty is only skin deep
Which leaves a decision of which to keep
Your body or your soul...
