mirror mirror on the wall

Mediu

we live inside our little world, captured in our inner reflection

everybody can see our smile, in their smile

and they all say this world is all worth the while

but they don\'t feel the beat, the action

the pulse of what\'s inside their vanity,

for we are their vanity

nobody has ever seen us move

our beauties lie in here, dead

we couldn\'t

we wouldn\'t

we shall not leave our world

the world of a mirage, the world of a fake consistence

we make up images, so everybody would be pleased of us

so they would all think that what they see is real

and they don\'t even know we\'re here

they will never know that what they really see is us

nobody will ever see us move

their souls lie in here, dead

they couldn\'t

they wouldn\'t

but their beauty is our beauty

and their faces are our faces

and their bodies are our bodies

so they could see perfection

but they are all distortion

and we\'ll live until long after they\'ll die

our surface is glass

our inside is silver

our image is pure yet fake

we can distort and lie

we are our own

we are the Mirror
