Mirror Maze

(Verse 1) I float through the static, like a whisper in flame My hands aren't my own, but they write just the same The Colors drip sideways, as time folds in two And there's someone inside me pretending it's true (Pre-Chorus) I said I’d quit last week, then I laughed through my teeth Now I’m chasing the smoke while it’s stealing my sleep (Chorus) I look in the mirror and he looks back at me With hollowed-out eyes and a grin too clean I'm trapped in a body that don't feel like mine But the pills keep singing and I... toe the line... (Verse 2) The ceiling breathes gently, the carpet sighs low My conscience keeps knocking, but I won't let it show I know I’m still in here, I'm feeling myself decay Buried in visions I can’t throw away (Pre-Chorus) Tried talking to shadows, they offered me peace But they wanted my soul for a moment’s release (Chorus) I look in the mirror and he stares through me Like he's watching a ghost on a bad TV My mind’s on the run but my body's still tight And the sky melts down into neon lights (Bridge) I'm not the man I was before He's locked behind a forgotten door I feed the flames that eat my name Then wonder why it hurts the same (Breakdown – spoken with swirling FX) “Who am I when the silence ends? Just a ripple in the high that never ends...” (Guitar Solo a minute long with power chords and bends) (Final Chorus) I look in the mirror — but who is he? He mimics my breath, but he’s not me I scream through the glass, but it swallows the sound Guess I’ll drift a bit more, 'til I spiral down
