Mirror
i look at my reflection
in my mirror
and i wonder
could my life be clearer
i look into my eyes
do i see time
do my future past and present
always seem to shine
i look and i see
who, what, and when
are here and there in church
pray to the lord, amen
i look at my face
maybe a closer look
i wonder
is this the path i took
what does that mean
does it mean something
that i saw that shouldn't be seen
is this experience
or is this just fate
where is the answer
i just cannot wait
it all adds up
this plus that plus this
i think about my past
i think about my wish
i wished upon
a star one night
i wished for something
i knew wasn't right
i wished for that
i knew it couldn't happen
for all my wishes
seem to fatten
they get bigger
more unreal than real
do i win these things
or do i just have to steal
is it only me
or do you think so too
you know what i'm thinking
i'm thinking of me and you
all the times
i asked for one thing
birthday cakes, stars, and comets
all useless wishing
many tries that i tried
many times have i failed
all the times i gave up
now i feel so jailed
bars to the left
bars to the right
how do i get out
do i have to fight
or can i just ask
should we talk for once
but if you say no
i'll feel like a dunce
i'll be all jailed
in the striped clothing
nothing's there
but fear and loathing
it's so cold
where's the sun
is it owned
by anyone
all of this
from a look in the mirror
all of it
seemed so much clearer
it's too confusing for me
how about for others
for all the sisters
and all the brothers
i'll find out
in a minute or so
and then i shall
truly know
what i should know
about myself
i'll know alone
i'll find out with stealth
all of this
from one little glance
is this a game of fate
or is it a game of chance...
