Mirror Makes Me Know

Verse 1

Dust is dancing in a beam of yellow light

While I’m wrestling with the demons of the night

I step toward the glass to see a face I hate

A weary traveler who showed up far too late

The silver lining is beginning to decay

Just like the words I never learned to say

I’m a map of roads that lead to nowhere fast

A hollow echo of a better, brighter past

Chorus

Maybe I’m built of jagged, broken stone

A cold architecture standing all alone

Don’t try to plant a garden in this clay

I’ll only watch the petals drift away

I’m the static on a screen that’s lost its feed

Not the kind of harvest that you’ll ever need

You shouldn't love a shadow in the rain

Verse 2

The wallpaper is bubbling with the heat

Of every single promise I couldn't meet

I see a stranger staring back with hollow eyes

Telling me the truth beneath a thousand lies

I’m a vessel with a thousand tiny leaks

Sinking in the silence of the words nobody speaks

How could you find a shelter in a ruin?

With a heart that’s always out of tune

Verse 3

The synthesizer hums a crooked, lonely chord

Like rusted edges of a broken sword

I try to breathe but the glass is closing in

Tracing every failure underneath my skin

I’m a photograph that’s left out in the sun

Fading into nothing till the day is done

Bridge

Keep your distance from the silver line

Don’t try to make this broken spirit shine

I’m a ghost inside a room of velvet blue

There is no space in here for someone like you

Instrumental Break

Chorus

Maybe I’m built of jagged, broken stone

A cold architecture standing all alone

Don’t try to plant a garden in this clay

I’ll only watch the petals drift away

I’m the static on a screen that’s lost its feed

Not the kind of harvest that you’ll ever need

You shouldn't love a shadow in the rain

Outro

Not enough for you...

Not enough for me...

Just a blurry shape...

That you shouldn't see...

Let the image fade...

Just leave me to the glass...
