Mirror

I know brother they tell you one thing And I know sister they sell you another Distract you with baubles and glitter Their taunts and subliminal whispers Keep you hungry and apart Consuming your heart **There's a mirror in the next room Bending all that you see There's a mirror in the next room With your identity If only you can try it You know you've got to buy it To have everything If only you can buy You know you've got to try it To have everything That's how they sell you I know mother they give you with one hand And I know father they take it with two Enslaving your deepest desires With shining things you can't acquire Keep you needy and un-whole Consuming your soul Tellin' you that you feel the pauper Tellin' you that you're feeling scared Tellin' you that you just don't measure Tellin' you that you need repair That's how they sell you Mirror mirror on the wall The lure of illusion's my fall You are the cruelest of all
