ignorance is amazing

the shards of glass begin to fall

as I back into the wall

as inhumane as it may sound

I laugh histerically as the pieces hit the ground

and even though you're not concerned

I try to show you the skin I've burned

my fist will find a way to this mirror

every time I consider fear

suppose I even heard the crash

well this mirror was nothing but a piece of trash

I once thought I gave up hope

but now I consider that a vain joke

is it really all that wrong

that watching this I stay so calm?

but as the eerie chill runs down my spine

I realize that this mirror is mine

and ignorance was never bliss

when your fighting chance was what you missed

and now the pieces will not stay

except on the ground where they lay

by the time you realize this isn't a laughing matter

all my mirror would have shattered
