My Reflection

When I was ten or twelve
I discovered my reflection
Then I looked into my hand
And I knew I was not lying
I’m a child with intuition
Not a man with heart mutation
In a movie in a movie
You came asking through a mirror
Oh, don’t leave me to die
Oh no, don’t leave me to die
In the corner of the dungeon
I was sniffing Coca-Cola
I’m a cat with super powers
But I’m acting like an asshole
It was when we left the army
Almost blinded by the tension
With no excuse and no confession
You kept starring right back at me
Oh, don’t leave me to die
Oh no, don’t leave me to die
Here I’m standing monumental
Deconstructed from social convention
I gave myself a silent treatment
And the sweetest chord progression
Face to face with eyes wide open
I’m now deforming my reflection
To the kid who just got beaten
After asking for affection
Oh, don’t leave me to die
Oh no, don’t leave me to die
