It's there It has always been there Staring you in the face But you can't see it You never could You've always just shut your eyes And turned away But it never did That pitiful creature, Always looking at you With such blind admiration How could it love you? Be so devoted to you? The one who lied The one who abandon it All of it was your own fault Because you couldn't look at it And only now do you realize That you could never just leave it For it is you, and you are it So go ahead Turn around And look at that liar That façade That empty husk It won't say anything It's just your reflection

The Mirror Lied
It's there It has always been there Staring you in the face But you can't see it You never could You've always just shut your eyes And turned away But it never did That pitiful creature, Always looking at you With such blind admiration How could it love you? Be so devoted to you? The one who lied The one who abandon it All of it was your own fault Because you couldn't look at it And only now do you realize That you could never just leave it For it is you, and you are it So go ahead Turn around And look at that liar That façade That empty husk It won't say anything It's just your reflection
