Dark Mirror

Dark Mirror Dark mirror in a midnight room Memories, a familiar doom The clock bleeds its numbers dry And I peel my skin like fruit Watching shadows multiply Around your ghost, a butterfly The mirror shows a face that’s mine But not my own, not my own Every night I die inside your head Every morning the heat burns cold I light a flame I cannot keep I drown in dreams I never sleep I wear your eyes, I speak your name But nothing in me stays the same The mirror shows a face that’s mine But not my own, not my own Every night I die inside your head Every morning the heat burns cold If I step through, will I remain Or fracture into borrowed flame Am I the wound or just the scar A reflection of who you are The mirror shows a face that’s mine But not my own, not my own Every night I die inside your head Every morning the heat burns cold Dark mirror… midnight room Memories… familiar doom
