Mirror

On the stage, he shines so bright All the lights, they feel so right But when the curtain falls It's silence in the halls The mirror tells a truth unknown A stranger in a house of stone Every laugh, every cheer Can't drown the sound of fear He's a puzzle out of place Running from his own embrace Mirror, mirror, can't you see? He's not the man he wants to be Mirror, mirror, what's the cost? To find himself, to face what's lost Mirror, mirror, can't you see? The cracks are where his heart should be Mirror, mirror, show it all Before he breaks, before he falls Every step, a perfect role Every word, a script he stole But when the crowd is gone He's left to face the wrong The mirror shows the scars he hides Stories buried deep inside Every glance, every praise Hides the cracks in his maze He's a shadow chasing light Falling in his endless fight Mirror, mirror, can't you see? He's not the man he wants to be Mirror, mirror, what's the cost? To find himself, to face what's lost Mirror, mirror, can't you see? The cracks are where his heart should be Mirror, mirror, show it all Before he breaks, before he falls. In the mirror, there's a ghost Of the dreams he loved the most Who's the stranger in his eyes? Why does he feel paralyzed? What if all he tries to see Is not the man he's meant to be? The mirror doesn't lie But it doesn't tell him why Mirror, mirror, can't you see? He's not the man he wants to be Mirror, mirror, what's the cost? To find himself, to face what's lost Mirror, mirror, can't you see? The cracks are where his heart should be Mirror, mirror, show it all Before he breaks, before he falls In the mirror, there he stands Searching for what he can't understand Who's the face behind the glass? A question he can't ask In the mirror, there's a ghost Searching for what he can't understand Who's the face behind the glass? A question he can't ask.
