In the Mirror

Look in the mirror
Tell me what you see
Is the reflection you?
Or who you never thought you'd be?

Is your shadow what is seems?
Or is it who you are?
Did you lose yourself, along the way?
Did you catch a falling star?

You wander like a vagabond
But talk like a king
And your words are of no consquence
Because they have a hollow ring

Tell a lie a thousand times
And a lie it still will be
Your picture changes, all the time
But I still am what you would never see

And you wonder what the future
Will hold for you tomorrow
And I wonder where you'll go
And to who, you will bring sorrow

I guess some things, stay the same
Throughout the storyline
And even though the clock has stopped
You have run out of time
