The Mirror Reflects More Than You Tell.

The mirror shows, more than you know
About yourself, about your life,
And the feelings you don't show.
The mirror reflects more than just yourself
It reflects your life in general,
It reflects something else. 

Look in the mirror, are you happy with what you see?
Or is there someone else who you'd rather be?
Review the reflection, that is in front of your eyes
Don't tell me that you believe this mask,
Trust this disguise.

Just look deeper, look inside your mind
Get all the memories and secrets out,
That you rather not find.
Show your pain, show your scars
And look at yourself for what you are,

Because you don't know how hard life is
Until it's at a halt
And realize how much of that pain is your fault
Make sense of yourself, and figure out why
You're still on Earth and not in the Sky 

The mirror reflects more than just you
It reflects the memories that most don't see true
Look in the mirror, one last time
Try to convince yourself that you're just fine
But no matter how hard you lie to yourself,
And swear it's true

The mirror will always reflect the monster that became of you.
