mirror vision

i will be lost within
and trapped without
dawning love
in shadows of doubt
too scared to scream
i shatter the will
exposing my soul
just for the thrill

if you think to
look inside you'll
find i'm just like
you'll never find
all that i hide
that i am just like you...

i can be the darkest hole
or the brightest star
to draw you close
or push you far
i'm left alone
and crowded in
the random thought
that could have been

if you think to
look inside you'll
find i'm just like
you'll never find
all that i hide
that i am just like you...

i have been all that you
could ever fear
this fleshmachine
you hold so dear
i'll wrap you tight
to set you free
and make you what
you could never be

if you think to
look inside you'll
find i'm just like
you'll never find
all that i hide
that i am just like you...
