lyrics
Mirrors
I'm trying to find an answer
I'm trying to find a reason
Trying to find things
that I can believe in
But all I find is trouble,
and ways to unwind
I hate everything,
even when I'm having a good time
So I'll just sit here
staring at this wall all night
Ignoring glares and conversation
that might make my life bearable
Insecurity cuts like a knife to my throat
I've got so many thoughts
I've got ideas to express
It must be the drugs. I must be a mess
I'm a walking punchline.
I'm a human anecdote
The sad clown
after being introduced to dope
So I'll just sit here
grinding my teeth all night
Nothing I could say
would ever come out right
Like Dangerfield I'll get
no respect tonight or any other
Like Rodney I'm dead
All of my mirrors are broken
I'm trying to find an answer
I'm trying to find a reason
Trying to find things
that I can believe in
But all I find is trouble,
and ways to unwind
I hate everything,
even when I'm having a good time
So I'll just sit here
staring at this wall all night
Ignoring glares and conversation
that might make my life bearable
Insecurity cuts like a knife to my throat
I've got so many thoughts
I've got ideas to express
It must be the drugs. I must be a mess
I'm a walking punchline.
I'm a human anecdote
The sad clown
after being introduced to dope
So I'll just sit here
grinding my teeth all night
Nothing I could say
would ever come out right
Like Dangerfield I'll get
no respect tonight or any other
Like Rodney I'm dead
All of my mirrors are broken
