Lyrics Broken Mirror - Thieves Like Us

Broken Mirror

Two steps back from your father
With such a long face
There was sadness in your smile
There was sadness in your smile
Life’s not quite like you want it
In this collision
Light and sound keep moving
I stand between your two sides
Like a broken mirror
They’re speaking of your death
But I don t believe it
Still you keep the disease
Everyone can hear it
Two steps down from your sister
She ain’t got no friends
There was madness in her eyes
From a lack of faith and love
Three shots left in the barrel
But there are four men
Light and sound keep moving
You stand between my two sides
Like a broken mirror
You’ve chosen your own fate
But you just don t see it
Still you keep the disease
Everyone can hear it
I stand between your two sides
Like a broken mirror
What does the mirror perceive?
Is its reflection true?
Or false?
Do the cuts ever heal?
Thoughts
Distorted by fear, permanence, pleasure
All just illusion
Thoughts so clever,
All real feelings have vanished
(Counterfeit)
Unclear, you’ll mimic others
Until you become them
Finally the curtain drops
(Encore Encore)
Transients continue to drift
Dreaming
