Shouldn't…but Do

Mirror, mirror I know so well
What of me if off your hook?
I cannot tell – it could be hell
with nowhere else to look

Mirror, mirror on the wall
What is it beyond you?
Mixed up things, unseen dreams
no lyric to form my songs to

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me not your secrets
As you are so once was I
limited by the view

So I will come another day
To see what lies behind you
To dash for whispers before I’m crushed
Try to speak before I’m hushed

Mirror, mirror, gone to black
It will be some time before I’m back
For as you are so once was I
And now I’ve gone beyond you.
