Tainted I stand here ridden with decease Nail me with a vacant stare Prepare me for release Sow a scar upon my face Plans for my resurrection laid to waste
It takes more than me to heal the infected eye I′d drain me dry to heal the long lost beauty It takes more than me to seal the infected eye I′ll follow my fate to cut your tongue of hate
Sink further down Let myself drown in my own self-deception Watch how the mirrors twist the truth Thoughts designed to destroy the average man Thoughts designed to erase our confidence Anger Frustration the message is now! These are all things that now pressure my soul
I can see your face turning blue The fire in your eyes is fading too I can sense the fear running through your veins as the pictures turn to red
[Verse 1] Aren’t you somethin’ to admire Cause your shine is somethin’ like a mirror And I can’t help but notice You reflect in this heart of mine If you ever feel alone and The glare makes me hard to find Just know that I’m always Parallel on the other side
[Pre-Hook] Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul I can tell you there’s no place we couldn’t go Just put your hand on the past I’m here tryin’ to pull you through You just gotta be strong
[Hook 1] Cause I don’t wanna lose you now I’m lookin’ right at the other half of me The biggest scene is set in my heart There’s a space, but now you’re home Show me how to fight for now And I’ll tell you, baby, it was easy Comin’ back into you once I figured it out You were right here all along It’s like you’re my mirror My mirror staring back at me I couldn’t get any bigger With anyone else beside me And now it’s clear as this promise That we’re making Two reflections into one Cause it’s like you’re my mirror My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
[Verse 2] Aren’t you somethin’, an original Cause it doesn’t seem really as simple And I can’t help but stare, cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes I can’t ever change without you You reflect me, I love that about you And if I could, I Would look at us all the time
[Pre-Hook]
[Hook]
[Break] Yesterday is history Tomorrow’s a mystery I can see you lookin’ back at me Keep your eyes on me Baby, keep your eyes on me
[Hook]
[Hook 2] x10 You are, you are the love of my life
[Verse 3] Baby, you’re the inspiration for this precious song And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on So now I say goodbye to the old me, it’s already gone And I can’t wait wait wait wait wait to get you home Just to let you know, you are
[Hook 2] x8
[Verse 4] Girl you’re my reflection, all I see is you My reflection, in everything I do You’re my reflection and all I see is you My reflection, in everything I do
Roam: in this faded dream. Can you hear me when I scream to you? Have they been in vain? I am still the same: all my fear and all my pain explain: what remains.
Staring back: empty mirrors only fill my eyes. Nothing′s left to recognize. So I tell myself that I′m alive: I still hearyou:(talk, tick, tock)
Time is frozen here (here) I can feel that you are near (are near) I wish: (I wish) time would take you back (back) Let you change the end (the end) Writing all the words again (again) And live: (and live) not pretend
Staring back: empty mirrors only fill my eyes. Nothing′s left to recognize. So I tell myself that I′m alive: Even though I′m not: I know I′m not.
I danced a tango with my hubris high on youth We swept across the dance floor to subjective truth
But there was no harmony there No reason for coexistence Nothing to span the distance, now
Do we even know who we are Living like all life is forfeit Like we can just go redefine it Regardless what we broke
Who died and made us stars With our intellectual gambits Our millionaire flair and our antics We′re like mirrors seen through smoke
I tried a shanty with the fool to find my pace Anything from puns to jests to intertwine our ways
But there was no loyalty to hope And funny the need for mercy How it makes us bleed all mercy, now
Do we even know who we are...
Now the melody′s void of sympathy cos that shit′s in byte size bits on YouTube so tell me what am I supposed to do When the malady′s no remedy Till we reach the lowest absolute And necessity will finally force something through what′s walling you
There was a time, was a place back when You and I were living alone together We held each other in the middle of the night And swore we′d somehow make it better We set our sights on the big city lights No moss on these rolling stones And here we are with everything we ever wanted But now we′re together alone
Gotta break out of this place we′re in Runnin′ out of time and out of sin We were living smoke and mirrors anyway Gonna drive all night ′til we disappear Chasing down the miles so far from here As the smoke and mirrors start to fade away We′re still the same...
I remember thinking we could make it out somehow If somehow we ever took a chance We packed up what we had and threw it in the trunk Didn′t give our life a second glance Now the days roll hard and the nights move fast They say be careful what you wish But having everything means nothing to me now What we had is everything I miss
Gotta break out of this place we′re in Runnin′ out of time and out of sin We were living smoke and mirrors anyway Gonna drive all night ′til we disappear Chasing down the miles so far from here As the smoke and mirrors start to fade away You know we′re still the same... still the same
Gonna drive all night ′til we disappear Chasing down the miles so far from here As the smoke and mirrors start to fade away And we′re all we′ve got so let′s hold on tight To the dreams that came before the fight We were living smoke and mirrors anyway
I′m your mirror′s reflection, what you don′t like about me is what you hate in yourself, you should see through others eyes be4 you go ahead and make ′em feel like shit stop it but you won′t bec You hate yourselves images bitch, sometimes I get so frustrated haunting visions in the back of my mind, oh you struck a pose w/ your hand extended open arms in an idiocratic ways you try to lie Ourselves but you can′t break through that sacred wisdom of your spirit...used...freak....sometimes I would give anything just to be somethin more than nothin′
Shut up (Konvict) Shut your mouth and close the door I wanna watch you while you take it off I’m gonna take the blindfold put it on And then I drop the leather to the floor I said shut up!
(Chorus) Turning the lights out Burning the candles And the mirror’s gonna fog tonight! Turning the lights out Tighten the handcuffs And the mirror’s gonna fog tonight!
My stiletto on your neck Until I tie your hands above the bed You’ve gotta… Boy, don’t pull the trigger yet Na na na na I haven’t reloaded the clip Squeeze hard, hold that pose You know I like it, do it Sweetheart, I’m the boss And when you get close to it I’m gonna make tonight a show (Oh, oh, oh) I’ll make your love grenade explode (Na, na, na)
(Chorus)
Sex Love Control Vanity
Squeeze hard, hold that pose You know I like it, do it Sweetheart, I’m the boss And when you get close to it I’m gonna make tonight a show (Oh, oh, oh) I’ll make your love grenade explode (Na, na, na)
(Chorus)
And the mirror’s gonna fog tonight And the mirror’s gonna fog tonight
