The mirror shows me a face
But my mind questions it
Who are you?
She wears my hair
Has my sinking, glazed over eyes
My cracked lips
But this isn't me
I have words I want to say
Tears I want to cry
A smile I haven't seen since she came along
Trapped inside my own shell
I live a synthetic life
Always under the surface
But never strong enough to break through
So, inside I will remain
Trying to decipher this struggle
While she writes my story
Hides my tears
And lives her lies

The mirror shows me a face
But my mind questions it
Who are you?
She wears my hair
Has my sinking, glazed over eyes
My cracked lips
But this isn't me
I have words I want to say
Tears I want to cry
A smile I haven't seen since she came along
Trapped inside my own shell
I live a synthetic life
Always under the surface
But never strong enough to break through
So, inside I will remain
Trying to decipher this struggle
While she writes my story
Hides my tears
And lives her lies
