This mirror I hold dear
For in this mirror is my dear
So please tell them who you are
Are you me or am I you?
In this darkness I hold my dear
My dear is me and I am her’s
With skeptical eyes you look at me
Why do you look at me this way, my dear?
Am I not good enough for you?
Have I not been faithful to you?
I look after you every day
So you ignore me, my dear..
In my hand a rock I hold
To strike my dear and reform her new
But my dear was me so in pieces I lay
Upon this stone cold floor

Even I a mighty king of the road fell
I wish I was still in that prison cell
I was finally judged
I never budged
I believed my statement was true
In the past few years
I had many beers
I wanted to soar high
So I tried to fly
So I cast my die
Took a chance but ended up killing a lady
So in this chair I sit so high with this metallic crown
Like a king I feel
It’s almost surreal
For that one mistake
That soon I will meet my maker

I lurk in the shadows
For no one cares for me
I have no real friends
I have no real family
No one wants me so why should I live?
I just sit in the shadows
Staring at my own blood dripping
Dripping from the cuts and bruises
They are made of my failures
“Don’t even try” I tell myself
“If you try you will fail and bleed”
Sick of trying I call for death
Poison this time
A voice then calls for me
It is my redemption
It is my own death
In the shadows I lurk
In the shadows I die
Alone

My life is a charade
A happy carnival of dancing clowns
Who’s own lives they take
Slowly the charade dies
Revealing my true self
Faking it all I wear a mask
The mask is a mirror
Reflecting what other people see of me
Behind the mask is a face not seen
My true face
Hidden from this world
A face that acts upon what the mirror reflects
Like a dog on a leash
My life is a charade
Ounce that charade was filled with life
Now it is only death
