Broken Mirror
I see you gazing in the mirror
Looking lighter than you should be
You've been gone for several weeks now
And I've been living in the darkness
There's not a smile that could rock me
So shut your own mouth and let me speak
The silence suits you when you let it
You will not hear yourself today
You are the worst of your misgivings
A cut-rate, minor insurrection
And that's exactly why you need me
I feel the room begin to tighten
As violence creeps in through the air ducts
There's so much more I need to tell you
So put that fist back in your own mouth
You are the worst of your misgivings
A cut-rate, minor insurrection
The silence suits you when you let it
You'll never hear yourself again
You'll never hold the world in rapture
You'll never be a loving brother
You think your words have any power?
Let's see them desecrate the mirror
Looking lighter than you should be
You've been gone for several weeks now
And I've been living in the darkness
There's not a smile that could rock me
So shut your own mouth and let me speak
The silence suits you when you let it
You will not hear yourself today
You are the worst of your misgivings
A cut-rate, minor insurrection
And that's exactly why you need me
I feel the room begin to tighten
As violence creeps in through the air ducts
There's so much more I need to tell you
So put that fist back in your own mouth
You are the worst of your misgivings
A cut-rate, minor insurrection
The silence suits you when you let it
You'll never hear yourself again
You'll never hold the world in rapture
You'll never be a loving brother
You think your words have any power?
Let's see them desecrate the mirror
