Mirror, mirror


Well I'm broken, I'm shattered
On the ground I'm in pieces
Glass shards scatter
Each a synthesis of your thesis
Well its all that mattered
Yes I brought you great wealth
And all I ever did was show you yourself

Mirror mirror on the wall
Mark my words this time
Before you fall
Seven years bad luck
If you don't remember me at all
You can never get back
What you broke,
You'll end up looking like some kind of joke
Just turn the other cheek, it's bad for your health
And all I ever did was show you yourself

Don't shoot the messenger
I've commited no crime
Only brought you up to date with a reflection of mine
We can all be sinners, we can all hate
Well you might be beginners but its never too late
The mirror never lies, it sees when he cries
It sees when she states
Her falsehoods like toadstools that grow on rotten stumps
Out in the forest where the hare jumps
Then she picks them and pickles them in jars on the shelf
And all I ever did was show you yourself

You try walking away
But you look over your shoulder
Don't think I missed that,
You think you look older or you're getting fat
I'm not going to lie, Its all in the eye of the beholder
But is it you or I, who needs the help?
And all I ever did was show you yourself
