So tell me, what will it profit you now? To gain the world, but forfeit your soul... In your lust for everything else, It seems you've lost yourself
You flirted on with ignorance, betrothed to all your lies. Did you wonder how much more I'd take before I realize? Slipping away, you knew this truth, taboo, would soon or late catch up with you But what you didn't know is that I'd grow much too tired of this to advise
So, now I'm choking madly on this hilarity. And, its all thanks to you. You are a shadow; a perfect mockery of your own ideals
Face me: Yet, those eyes do look so familiar I think I saw my life through them, once
So, go on and take the time to distinguish your face And so, be the first to put yourself in place Dirt out of fingernails; blood off our hands Expect of ourselves what of the world we demand These eyes staring back are where change can begin And, the struggle for yourself, it must be fought from within
No, what's done is done The stranger in the mirror runs at the sight of his loss No, what's done is done The stranger in the mirror lives for you both
