He looked in the mirror
But he didnt see himself
He saw a liar
With a craving for wealth,
He saw a scavenger
He saw no good,
He saw a deceiver
In the place where he stood.
He didnt like what he saw
But he didnt have a choice
When he took off his mask
He didnt have a voice.
She looked in the mirror
But she didnt see herself
What she saw was old and broken
Running out of health,
She saw a junkie
With track marks on her arms
She saw an old princess
With only herself to harm,
She didnt like what she saw
But she knew no other way
Shes been gone for so long
She can never get away.
I looked in the mirror
But I didnt see me
I saw a fallen angel
Whos lost his wings,
I saw a sinner
I saw the crimes
Believing is one thing
But change is on my mind,
I dont like what I saw
But there might be hope
Time to escape the wrath
And get my neck out of the rope.
