The sun will rise tomorrow with that pure orange that fills the sky at dawn and awakens the birds who chirp us into semi-consciousness And I will turn in my bed to face the darkness and whisper that life is magnificent I won't remember that when I wake up But it’s the subconscious thoughts that really count when the world is falling apart We might lose ourselves and succumb to animalism but deep down we will always be there, and what is more perfect than an object constantly at risk for breaking We are these objects Look in the mirror and witness your perfection See the hands of god that once shaped your face embracing you still Realise that you are bruised flesh and broken bone always healing and always being hurt When aliens invade they will watch old movies and witness the archetype of humanity in each of us They will wonder why we label each other when we all breath the same air and therefore contain bits of each other Look in the mirror and realize you have done bad things but the beauty of life is that change is inevitable For the good or the better And that God probably wonders sometimes why he bothered making us

The reflection in my mirror
The sun will rise tomorrow with that pure orange that fills the sky at dawn and awakens the birds who chirp us into semi-consciousness And I will turn in my bed to face the darkness and whisper that life is magnificent I won't remember that when I wake up But it’s the subconscious thoughts that really count when the world is falling apart We might lose ourselves and succumb to animalism but deep down we will always be there, and what is more perfect than an object constantly at risk for breaking We are these objects Look in the mirror and witness your perfection See the hands of god that once shaped your face embracing you still Realise that you are bruised flesh and broken bone always healing and always being hurt When aliens invade they will watch old movies and witness the archetype of humanity in each of us They will wonder why we label each other when we all breath the same air and therefore contain bits of each other Look in the mirror and realize you have done bad things but the beauty of life is that change is inevitable For the good or the better And that God probably wonders sometimes why he bothered making us
