Mirror in the Mask

[Verse 1] I wore a borrowed face It fit too clean Pressed into shape Like a magazine dream My name in ink My soul in smoke You call it style I call it rope I learned the pose The grin, the glare But in the glass I’m barely there [Pre-Chorus] You want the shine I want the scar You love the mask I know who you are [Chorus] Mirror in the mask Mirror in the mask Say my name plain Say my name plain Mirror in the mask Mirror in the mask I bleed in the truth You fade in the frame (fade in the frame) [Verse 2] I saw you dressed In a second skin Talk like a saint With a wolf in it Soft on the edge Sharp in the chest Selling that lie Like it’s a test But truth don’t bend For a pretty mouth It kicks the door And drags you out [Pre-Chorus] You want the show I want the nerve You want the crown I want the nerve [Chorus] Mirror in the mask Mirror in the mask Say my name plain Say my name plain Mirror in the mask Mirror in the mask I bleed in the truth You fade in the frame (fade in the frame) [Bridge] Take off the gold Take off the noise Take off the script And use your voice Hands on the floor Feet in the ash If it’s not real Then let it crash [Final Chorus] Mirror in the mask Mirror in the mask Say my name plain Say my name plain Mirror in the mask Mirror in the mask I bleed in the truth You fade in the frame (fade in the frame) Mirror in the mask Mirror in the mask No borrowed skin No borrowed skin (no borrowed skin)
