Look upon, the surface
Touch your fingers to the glass
Reflected back at you
A mirage you cannot see past

A window shows you nothing
If you refuse to look outside
Transfixed by fear of something
Some truth buried inside
Your facade, begins to crack
To my eyes, it's crystal clear
Your pane of glass, your prison
A self-confining mirror

The truth lies beyond the mirror
A world just out of reach
There you'll remain, trapped, within your own reflection

Your true emotions, a secret even from yourself
A mask that protects, by suffocating

Mesmerized by your illusions
Images you craft and perfect
This imaginary person
Kills the very self you sought to protect

A window shows you nothing
If you refuse to look outside
Transfixed by fear of something
Some truth buried inside
Your facade, begins to crack
To my eyes, it's crystal clear
Your pane of glass, your prison
A self-confining mirror

The truth lies beyond the mirror
A world just out of reach
There you'll remain, trapped, within your own reflection
