Lyrics
Staring at my own reflection
the mirror never lies
pain and pleasure clearly show
through my weary eyes
it's been a bumpy ride so far
littered with deceit
when you wish upon a star
and suffer from defeat
Self-analytical
not even critical
but it blows my mind
if I could only find
some kind of peace of mind
still it drives me insane
It's like I'm feeling quite unstable
take a sip from the mug
I see it drop from the coffee table
it's time to pull the plug
confusion got the best of me
can't get the rationale
secluded and you disagree
a typical locale
Staring at my own reflection
the mirror never lies
pain and pleasure clearly show
through my weary eyes
it's been a bumpy ride so far
littered with deceit
when you wish upon a star
and suffer from defeat
Self-analytical
not even critical
but it blows my mind
if I could only find
some kind of peace of mind
still it drives me insane
