Broken Mirror Songtext

von Thieves Like Us

Two steps back from your father
With such a long face
There was sadness in your smile
There was sadness in your smile

Life's not quite like you want it
In this collision
Light and sound keep moving

I stand between your two sides
Like a broken mirror
They're speaking of your death
But I don t believe it
Still you keep the disease
Everyone can hear it

Two steps down from your sister
She ain't got no friends
There was madness in her eyes
From a lack of faith and love

Three shots left in the barrel
But there are four men
Light and sound keep moving

You stand between my two sides
Like a broken mirror
You've chosen your own fate
But you just don t see it
Still you keep the disease
Everyone can hear it
I stand between your two sides
Like a broken mirror

What does the mirror perceive?
Is its reflection true?
Or false?
Do the cuts ever heal?

Thoughts
Distorted by fear, permanence, pleasure
All just illusion

Thoughts so clever,
All real feelings have vanished
(Counterfeit)

Unclear, you'll mimic others
Until you become them

Finally the curtain drops
(Encore Encore)
Transients continue to drift
Dreaming
