The Mirror
The mirror never lies throughout your youth
Though perhaps it might exaggerate the truth
The mirror never jokes about the news
When asked about the face that it reviews
But if it shows up signs it traces in the lines
What more are you entitled to?
If you are wise there will be no surprise
When you are young, the mirror never lies
The mirror never cheats, it guarantees
Rejecting all responsibilities
The mirror never twists and never bends
It shows you almost all that it intends
And sometimes, it is hard; it takes you off your guard
You can't select what to reject
The sick defeats and sad retreats
And guarantees that the mirror never cheats
The mirror never hates or is unfair
It freezes for you only what is there
The mirror never smiles to ease your mind
It never knew the meaning of unkind
And sometimes in the night, stood blinking in the light
You are shown something unknown
Whatever waits, it all relates
And it's unfair that the mirror never hates
Whatever waits, it all relates
And it's unfair that the mirror never hates
Though perhaps it might exaggerate the truth
The mirror never jokes about the news
When asked about the face that it reviews
But if it shows up signs it traces in the lines
What more are you entitled to?
If you are wise there will be no surprise
When you are young, the mirror never lies
The mirror never cheats, it guarantees
Rejecting all responsibilities
The mirror never twists and never bends
It shows you almost all that it intends
And sometimes, it is hard; it takes you off your guard
You can't select what to reject
The sick defeats and sad retreats
And guarantees that the mirror never cheats
The mirror never hates or is unfair
It freezes for you only what is there
The mirror never smiles to ease your mind
It never knew the meaning of unkind
And sometimes in the night, stood blinking in the light
You are shown something unknown
Whatever waits, it all relates
And it's unfair that the mirror never hates
Whatever waits, it all relates
And it's unfair that the mirror never hates
