Monsters in the Mirror

Monsters live in the mirror

I see them every day

I can’t see my reflection

Cuz there always in the way



Silently they’re haunting me

With there lies they’re taunting me

Making me believe

That no ones ever really wanting me



There’s a man in the mirror that’s a stranger to me

I feel like he may even be a danger to me

And I think its even stranger to see

The mirror man and me do not always agree



This man is but a mirrored mirage

Put together like a strange collage

Creating illusions of reality



He’s a Bogart taking many shapes

Within a glass he can’t escape

A real life he can only imitate

Now this man is imitating me



When I walk away does he disappear?

Does he only exist if I am near?

Or maybe he just goes to become someone else’s fear



A parallel universe exists

Inside the mirror with a twist

He might be my reflection

But maybe I am his



Maybe he’s plotting against me

He’ll rise up and I will then be

His puppet slave to copy him obediently

While my life is taken from me

I’m doomed to watch while he becomes me



Mirror mirror on the wall

How I wish that you would fall

For on the floor what I would see is

Shattered demons ripped to pieces
