lyrics

A mirror image
If I bend the light
Will I reflect, will I gain insight?

Into the very soul, that I’m afraid is mine
The very soul that I’m afraid is mine

Dispersion, and a colorful diversion
From the monster inside, the one ashamed of the light

Resplendent, magnificat

Leroux had it right
The monster’s in the darkness, in the music of the night
Libertine, hedonistic dream
Running Wilde

No one ever stopped to think
That the beauty and the beast were the same damn person

Look at me, look at me
Trembling, crumbling
This porcelain mask of skin
Is slowly dying
Dying dying dying dying dying
Slowly dying

If I smash the glass, can I paint my own portrait?
Or am I stuck in this hell
Stuck in this shell
Stuck in this hell
Stuck with myself, with myself

Beautiful creature, selfish creature
A masquerade, a lying charade
I’m past the point of no return, no return

A mirror image
If I bend the light
Will I reflect, will I gain insight?
Into the very soul, that I’m afraid is mine
Very soul, that I’m afraid is mine
