Another Face in the Mirror
4.23.04

Laugh, but know this
I won’t always be here
To hold your hand, to wipe away that lonely tear
Falling down your pale face
You’re so fragile- and I love you
I love you, I do
But I can’t always stay here

Laugh, but know this
The days drift by in an empty blur
Eventually we’ll have to wake up
Eventually I’ll have to remember-
That you aren’t here
No matter how much it hurts

Laugh, but know this
The image that you see-
The one staring back in the mirror
Oh, how it’s only a shadow...
A lonely fake, nothing compared to the original
Except for the tears- those are identical

Laugh, but know this
I can feel your blood seeping into my veins
It rips, it tears me apart
But each breath- let it be your own
Please don’t leave me alone
Back to real life, because someone died with you
I can’t even remember that someone’s name anymore...
But I need you, to remember-
I need you, so laugh, because all I can do is cry

Just another face in the mirror
No more shallow
For reasons you can’t be told
Just another face in the mirror
Another lost soul, in a world so cold

<--- fall into my patterened tears... [return]
<---<--- catch me as i fall? [AA]
