lyrics

i don't want to be
consistent enough to know
just press repeat
i'm so predictable
rework, amend
believe me, i'm sure
i'll say it out loud
but we've heard this before

maybe it doesn't matter
how hard i try
because we all know
how well the mirror lies
and taking me for what you see
just might be worse
than seeing nothing
at all

i'm trying to place
some meaning behind the words
to make it seem
as though they aren't just rehearsed
but you and i know
that i've done this before
and it's laughable to think
that i feel this anymore

maybe it doesn't matter
how hard i try
because we all know
how well the mirror lies
and taking me for what you see
just might be worse
than seeing nothing
at all

i'm just the smoke inside of the mirror
slowly fading away to show a mirage
you can call me a fake, you can call me illusion
and by the time i'm gone, there's nothing to show i ever was

maybe it doesn't matter
how hard i try
because we all know
how well the mirror lies
