Lyrics
i woke up to find the world as a mirror
shining and glaring, naked and small
i saw their lust and i saw their fear
and i saw that i was no different at all
the violent fires and desires that cause them pain
are the fires and desires that make me the same
we play the same game, feel the same pain
and in the end we all go by the same name
were human beings, caught between the flesh and the soul
were human beings, same stage though we play different roles
we cry the same way, lie the same way
and in the end, we all die the same way
all the dirt and the filth that makes them sick
is the dirt and the filth that makes me diseased
the devices and vices that i see
are the vices that lurk inside me
when you see the world as a mirror
glaring back at you
you will see the vision getting clearer
and all those things that you do
i did not like what i saw in this mirror
so full of confusion yet empty of dreams
i knew i did not have to be
part of this place with selfish needs
i knew i hated what my eyes saw
every insecurity and every tiny flaw
so i smashed the glass, put it past my mind
slashed and laughed as i cut the ties
smashed the glass, put it past my mind
slashed and laughed as i cut the ties
i began the process of cleaning my mind
i looked only ahead, never behind
as i became better, as i grew my wings
they became lower, as i became king
i threw away those parts of me
those things i didnt need
i threw the bad parts of me
those things i did not need
when you see the world as a mirror
glaring back at you
you will see the vision getting clearer
all those things that you do
youll see the human bound to the skin
youll see the animal deep within
but you can smash this world thats a mirror
you can smash the sin!
