The Mirror

W. Charlie Martineau, Jr.

Have you looked into a mirror just to see inside

But all that’s looking back at you is just a soul that’s died 

 

And nothing that you do can make it whole again

But the joke is on you because it’s not the end

 

Nothing that you do can fix the ones you hurt

And nothing you can do can make this life thing work

 

And nothing that you say can ever come out right 

‘Cause your words have all become a way for you to fight

 

And nothing that you see is really as it seems

And nothing that you hear can ever be believed

 

And nowhere that you go is an escape from pain

And all your sins keep coming back around again

 

And never did you think that it could be this way

That Dawn would bring the silence of a dark new day

 

Have you looked into a mirror just to see inside

But all that’s looking back at you is just a soul that’s died
