On the other side of the mirror
There lies a creature of despair
Everyday she spends her time
Looking in the mirror
On the other side of the glass
Lies a creature of the past
And he spends all the day
Withering in the glass
On the other side of the reflection
Lies a creature of deception
And they waste all their lives
Trying to perfect the reflection
Laugh pig laugh
Walking to the slaughter
Laugh pig laugh
Running to your death
Laugh pig laugh
You couldn’t be any slower
Laugh pig laugh
To go and waste your breath
Too busy with our reality
Too worried all the time
Pushes you to insanity
And complete the stress climb
Too busy with my fantasy
Too laid back to care
Trying to keep my sanity
To find someone to share
Too caught up in our own worlds
To be more understanding
Too controlling with our words
Just drowning in them, floundering
In life you were my pillar
That kept me safe from harm
In death you condemn me
My own bad luck charm
In life you listened to me
So steadfast and true
In death only the wind will hear
My crying out to you
In life you were my shoulder
To lean over and cry on
In death your gravestone will do
Until I’m dead and gone
One two
Tell me the truth
Three four
I’m on the floor
Five six
Give me my fix
Seven eight
Lay me straight
Nine ten
Forgive my sin
One two
Say you do
Three four
Slam the door
Five six
Run through Styx
Seven eight
I’m at the gate
Nine ten
Over again
Writers we wallow
Not in pity or in sorrow
But in words
Characters, paragraphs, entire worlds
These words they fall they circle they drown
They pick at every small meaning to be found
Down to the bones of every kiss
Every corpse every star every wish
Constant continuous monologue a narration a soliloquy
Not in sleep nor in work nor in the mundane do we find reprieve
Just more words more knowledge more history
For writers you see we wallow, but not in pity
I’ll hold my breath
While you hold my hand
I’ll do the surrendering
If you’ll be the man
I’ll spread my legs
Inviting you in
If you’ll think with lust
And join in my sin
TAKE IT!
TAKE IT!
TAKE IT!
Do it little boy
DO IT!
DO IT!
DO IT!
I’ll be your little toy
Come on in
Come in
Go on
Temptation is the plan
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock
It’s time to be a man
If you bite down
I’ll let my hand wonder
Lick at the flesh
And I’ll move down a little farther
If you don’t take a chance
Nothing will be given
Your lust turned to love
Mine tucked away and hidden
TAKE IT!
TAKE IT!
TAKE IT!
Do it little boy
DO IT!
DO IT!
DO IT!
I’ll be your little toy
Come on in
Come in
Go on
Temptation is the plan
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock
It’s time to be a man
Just be a fucking man already
I know you have it in you
I won’t date a fucking pussy
I’ll be the one you lose too
Stained in red
With your hands
As my blood fed
Your demands
Stained in black
With your soul
I fill your lack
Corrupt my whole
My white world
Stained with sin
I was lured
Down by him
My poor broken wings
No longer new
They’re stained red
Stained by you
Stained in scarlet
With the knife
I can’t die yet
I still have life
Stained in gray
With dirty snow
I cannot pray
Until I know
My white world
Stained with sin
I was lured
Down by him
My poor broken wings
No longer new
They’re stained red
Stained by you
Stained in crimson
Like the dirt
Maggots crawl in
I can’t feel the hurt
Condemned by his sins
Stained in brown
As my blood dries
In the dirt I seep down
As he slowly dies
My white world
Stained with sin
I was lured
Down by him
My poor broken wings
No longer new
They’re stained red
Stained by you
I’m looking at my reflection
In my lonesome mirror
Every little imperfection
I scowl I pout I leer
Every single indiscretion
As I see a lonesome tear
You gave me this
You’re the one who
Slit my wrists
To think I wanted to stay by you
I was just a possession, shiny and new
Well you can’t keep me down
No matter how hard you try
I’ll keep my feet planted firmly on the ground
And I will never cry
So I’ll hold up my head
And bear it
I’ll look you straight in the eye
And shame it
I break that mirror, shards of glass
And my face breaks into a thousand pieces
My life flies by, moving too fast
And instead of one, I’m surrounded my a thousand faces
As blood flows, time will pass
And thought after thought chases
The next through the broken glass
You gave me this
You’re the one who
Slit my wrists
To think I wanted to stay by you
I was just a possession, shiny and new
Well you can’t keep me down
No matter how hard you try
I’ll keep my feet planted firmly on the ground
And I will never cry
So I’ll hold up my head
And bear it
I’ll look you straight in the eye
And shame it
Sing away baby
Sing off to sleep
See the good lady
And watch as she weeps
The stars have all died
The moon is dead
But sleep on sweet baby
Alone in your bed
Dream oh sweet baby
Dream away pain
Of what a sweet image
A world with no shame
The stars have all died
The moon is dead
But sleep on sweet baby
Alone in your bed
Flyaway dragon
Flyway up high
Fly through my dreams
To your court in the sky
The stars have all died
The moon is dead
But sleep on sweet baby
Alone in your bed
