Images laughing at me from the past
I keep turning away but they're closing in fast
The roles I've played were always miscast
and every ranking still looks like last
CHORUS
Trapped inside this house of mirrors
Distorted reflections prey on my fears
Disappointments and failures are all that appear
in my cruel, unforgiving house of mirrors
V2
The day I could crawl I needed to stand
Never thought that I could reach out my hand
Above the rest - the constant demand
So I learned to fly but never to land
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Not good enough - could have tried harder
Not fast enough - could have gone a bit farther
Not smart enough - couldn't even compare
Not thin enough - did I even care
While reflections mock me from across the years
I'm dying inside of my house of mirrors
CHORUS
-Portia 2005
