mirror, mirror
on the wall
why do you show a lie?

i look so fake, emotionless
living in the shadow of
who i am supposed to be

my smile is so forced, broken
my eyes are and abyss of guilt
my skin is pale and cold
my arm are puckered with sadness

mirror, mirror
oh broken mirror
i smashed you in
for showing a lie.
