Mirrors

Sometimes in your eyes,
I can see a faded song
Used to know the words
Haven't hear them in so long
Sometimes in your eyes,
I can see a wish for death
But still you're hangin' on,
Even though there's nothing left
In the mirror I can see you fading away
A reflection of a life spent filling a space
Images of all the grown men starting to sway
To a song they sing while plummeting from grace
A blurred reflection with no silhouette to trace
Human books without the marks to hold their place
Sometims in your face,
I can see a younger man
The tears have not been kind,
So let us not pretend
(Let us not pretend now)
Sometimes in your smile,
A memory remains
The blookd is washed away
And all that's left are stains
In the mirror I can see you fading away
A reflection of a life spent filling a space
Images of all the grown men starting to sway
To a song they sing while plummeting from grace
A blurred reflection with no silhouette to trace
Human books without the marks to hold their place
I feel the ocean start to sway
The tide is pullin' me away
You hide yourself inside a bottle
The tide is pullin' me away
When you look in the mirror,
Do you see a tragedy?
When I look in the mirror,
It's who I used to be
