Mirrors Don't Lie

Track 2

The glass remembers every truth I tried to bend Front camera catching me, pretending once again Numbers on a glowing screen, a scoreboard for my worth I polish up the surface while I’m sinking in the dirt

I keep rehearsing better lines to sell a cleaner me But all the shine I manufacture never sets me free

Mirrors don’t lie, but they don’t say They show the cracks, I can’t replace They name the eight, they mark the stain But they can’t wash away the blame Mirrors don’t lie, but they don’t say

I scroll for answers, trade my peace for second-hand applause A thousand fixes, none can fix the center of the cause I bargain with my conscience like I’m paying down the loan But every promise that I make just leaves me more alone

I’ve learned the angles, learned the light, learned every hiding place But every time the glass is honest, I can’t bear my face

Mirrors don’t lie, but they don’t say They show the cracks, I can’t replace They name the eight, they mark the stain But they can’t wash away the blame Mirrors don’t lie, but they don’t say

If truth is just reflection, I’ll be stuck with what I am The measure isn’t mercy It can show but can’t redeem Mirrors don’t lie but they don’t say

They draw the lines I can’t erase They tell me why I need a way But they can’t lead me through the gate Mirrors don’t lie, but they don’t say

Oh, oh, oh
