Reflections of Self

V5

[Verse 1] Standing in the mirror's frame Reflected features not the same Water ripples, breaks my face Which version holds the truest place? Change my mask from room to room Cast in shadows, lit by moon Three shadows cast upon the wall Which one's closest to me at all [Chorus] Who am I when no one's looking? Which reflection can I trust? Every angle, every shadow Which is original, which dust? Is the version that you see A separate self or part of me? Which one's real or are they all? Standing in the question's thrall [Verse 2] Hear my echo bounce and fade Different sound than what I made Someone shapes what they can see But is their vision really me? Switching masks but can't recall If there's a face beneath them all Or if the masks are all I've got The question tangles like a knot [Chorus] Who am I when no one's looking? Which reflection can I trust? Every angle, every shadow Which is original, which dust? Is the version that you see A separate self or part of me? Which one's real or are they all? Standing in the question's thrall [Bridge] Three lights burning, three shadows fall Which one's closest to the source at all? Maybe the source is just another shade Maybe truth is just a masquerade Internal truth or outside shell Both are real, both truths to tell Ripples on the water's skin Question where I end and begin [Verse 3] Frozen moments in a frame Past-me wearing present's name Every angle shows a side All of them the truth, all lied The you that others understand Exists beyond my own command Their perception makes me new Is this version valid too? [Chorus] Who am I when no one's looking? Which reflection can I trust? Every angle, every shadow Which is original, which dust? Is the version that you see A separate self or part of me? Which one's real or are they all? Standing in the question's thrall [Outro] I stand between the lights and see Every shadow cast from me Mirror shows me, water breaks me Masks I wear and echoes make me Each reflection asks its question None deserve my rejection Every fragment shapes my soul I'm the question, Am I the whole?
