The Mirror

Living makes it easy to close your eyes
Shut out the demons that live inside
We've got one life, so they say
So I look in the mirror anyway
Nothing here is what it seems
To change is to ignite
The flame surrounding all we see
And be brave enough to try. Won't you tell me its alright
In my one life, I saw pain
So I looked in the mirror anyway
And I looked in the mirror anyway

And I looked in the mirror anyway x 4

While the world prefers to sleep and distract themselves with dreams
There are few who choose to see far beyond a fool's belief
That this life is always kind and good hearts are always open
Such a futile state of mind where the truth remains unspoken

While I strive to stay awake there are times when I grow weary
When the nights outlast the days and they never seem to fade
But the morning sun will shine and good hearts will not be broken
And to this my soul aspires, but the truth remains unspoken
Spoken

Here lies the soul, killed in its sleep by the ones in control
Buried by pretense and lost in its grave
Unmarked and unmourned by all that it saved
Follow me outside and realise the spirit
Sacrificed by generations who fear it
Follow me outside

And I looked in the mirror anyway
And I looked in the mirror anyway
And I look in the mirror every day
