The Mirror was written by Christian Dickert and Ethan Nolen. The song was passed down to us, hence Christian being in this band with me, we want to go for a new sound. So this is the unofficial release. There is an older version of this song up on youtube and spotify. We are not sure if we will be uploading this track there yet, so if you want to hear afterwards you'll have to hear it here or come see us live.

The Mirror-

You hide behind all your shallow lies, how can you stand, stand, stand to look yourself in the eyes. 
The guilt that you feel when you look in the mirror, it’s the only thing that keeps you from pulling the trigger 
Try and remember that you’re to blame 
You’re to blame for every fucking thing 

You’re just a fake, hopeless sack of shit 
Nothing left to say 
You dug this grave with your own cold hands 
So
Just fucking die. 
And let the earth take you in. 
Your mind is fucked if you believe in every single thing that you have ever heard. 

You’re telling me that I’ve lost myself 
But I can’t see past the words that you say 
That you say to me 
Could this all be a part of the games you played 
But I know at the end of it all you’ll be waiting just to watch me fall

This mirrors shattered from the lies in your soulless eyes 
Things that your face can’t disguise. 

And now your mouth is firing off. 
It’s a complex combination of these lies that will never stop. 
I’m not afraid to call you out. 
Your expectations mean nothing for me now 

Can you see now I’m living in a lie so perfectly placed in your hands. 
If you could ever realize in your tiny little mind that I’m not the same man. 
I’m not the same and I’ll never be 
I’m not the same and I’ll never be 

You’re telling me that I’ve lost myself 
But I can’t see past the words that you say 
That you say to me 
Could this all be a part of the games you played 
But I know at the end of it all you’ll be waiting just to watch me fall

Every night, when I lay my head to rest. 
(Lay my head to rest) 
I feel these demons start to rip out my chest
(Rip out my chest) 
They’re here to finish what you’ve started...

Tearing my heart until it’s nothing! 

And I’ve been worried about the things that you have said to me 
That I can never reach for my own dreams
I’ll rise above what you believe, so take this from me you were never what you seemed. 
(Never what you seemed) 

You’re telling me that I’ve lost myself 
But I can’t see past the words that you say 
That you say to me 
Could this all be a part of the games you played 
But I know at the end of it all you’ll be waiting just to watch me fall
