Ghost in the Mirror
Fool me once, I'll forgive and forget you
I'll reach back and I'll pull out your knife
And use it to cut you out of my life
Lie, lie to the ones you love
And forget to be true to yourself
Don't you get tired of starting fires-
Under the guise of someone else?
Someone you can't believe you've let yourself become
No matter how low you sink, you'll never defeat me
At my worst I'm the best you'll ever be
You brought this on yourself
Revenge is a dish best served to the weak
You can run, you can hide your life away
I see it in your eyes
You hate what you see looking back in the mirror's clarity
The measure of a man is obsolete
When you don't compete with those who sleep
In a bed they made of misery
Stand on your own two feet
Oh, your ego is shameless
You're in over your head
Hiding your heart is like faking your own death
You'll live a lie until you choke on your last breath
You're not as as clever as you'd need to be
To keep any secrets from me
You crave the abuse and it's sickening to me
You can run, you can hide your life away
I see it in your eyes
You hate what you see looking back in the mirror's clarity
The measure of a man is obsolete
When you don't compete with those who sleep
In a bed they made of misery
Stand on your own two feet
Even if you're standing alone (Standing alone)
You can always find your way back home (Way back home)
But you've been lost for so long (Lost for so long)
The hope for the hopeless is gone, yeah
You can run, you can hide your life away
I see it in your eyes
You hate what you see looking back in the mirror's clarity
The measure of a man is obsolete
When you don't compete with those who sleep
In a bed they made of misery
Stand on your own two feet (Stand on your own two feet)
I'll reach back and I'll pull out your knife
And use it to cut you out of my life
Lie, lie to the ones you love
And forget to be true to yourself
Don't you get tired of starting fires-
Under the guise of someone else?
Someone you can't believe you've let yourself become
No matter how low you sink, you'll never defeat me
At my worst I'm the best you'll ever be
You brought this on yourself
Revenge is a dish best served to the weak
You can run, you can hide your life away
I see it in your eyes
You hate what you see looking back in the mirror's clarity
The measure of a man is obsolete
When you don't compete with those who sleep
In a bed they made of misery
Stand on your own two feet
Oh, your ego is shameless
You're in over your head
Hiding your heart is like faking your own death
You'll live a lie until you choke on your last breath
You're not as as clever as you'd need to be
To keep any secrets from me
You crave the abuse and it's sickening to me
You can run, you can hide your life away
I see it in your eyes
You hate what you see looking back in the mirror's clarity
The measure of a man is obsolete
When you don't compete with those who sleep
In a bed they made of misery
Stand on your own two feet
Even if you're standing alone (Standing alone)
You can always find your way back home (Way back home)
But you've been lost for so long (Lost for so long)
The hope for the hopeless is gone, yeah
You can run, you can hide your life away
I see it in your eyes
You hate what you see looking back in the mirror's clarity
The measure of a man is obsolete
When you don't compete with those who sleep
In a bed they made of misery
Stand on your own two feet (Stand on your own two feet)
