"Behind the Mask" as written by and Rob/reidell Tabachka....
You hate looking at mirrors
You really are afraid
Still you keep staring
for an age
You think you recognise me
But I'm not really there
you pray to your own shadow
in despair
I am a mirror, I am the truth
I need no words to communicate
The world is my reflection,
my face is made of glass
I am the void behind the mask
You hate looking at mirrors
You never see eye to eye
Still you keep hoping
For your spirit to rise
I know that you can't see
The pain distort my face
The scars that I bear
For all mankind
You really are afraid
Still you keep staring
for an age
You think you recognise me
But I'm not really there
you pray to your own shadow
in despair
I am a mirror, I am the truth
I need no words to communicate
The world is my reflection,
my face is made of glass
I am the void behind the mask
You hate looking at mirrors
You never see eye to eye
Still you keep hoping
For your spirit to rise
I know that you can't see
The pain distort my face
The scars that I bear
For all mankind
