lyrics

All eyes upon me
I wonder what they see
Who they think they perceive
Then wonder why I even care

What you believe
Opinion compels me
To lie so that I seem
Like someone who’s never been there

Is all this just to shine a brighter mirror on myself?
And is all I've done in vain?
Through the looking glass are tales that I will never tell
They cause both joy and pain

And I can’t decide
If this pane will divide
Or at last reunite
But it’s something that won’t go away

From my mind
Should I tear out my eyes?
Maybe if I went blind
Well then nothing would stand in my way

Is all this just to shine a brighter mirror on myself?
And is all I've done in vain?
Someday I’ll step foot beyond this dusty prison cell
And find another name

Then I fell through
The glass into
That other place
To see my face
