Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
You were the spark that lit the flame,
A voice that tore through the noise and shame.
You stood for freedom, you stood for choice,
Now your silence drowns the rebel’s voice.

[Pre-Chorus]
You raised your fists to tear it down,
But now you’re building the same old crown.

[Chorus]
The mirror lies,
But can’t you see?
You’ve become what you swore you’d never be.
Preaching chains in the name of the free,
Blinded by your echo, lost in conformity.
The Mirror
The Mirror Lies
(It Lies...)

[Verse 2]
You once sang loud, a rebel’s creed,
Now you’re the wolf in the shepherd’s lead.
Guarding the gates of a single truth,
Forgetting the fire that burned in your youth.

[Pre-Chorus]
The same walls you swore you’d tear apart,
Now you defend with a zealot’s heart.

[Chorus]
The mirror lies,
But can’t you see?
You’ve become what you swore...
What you swore you’d never be.
Preaching chains in the name of the free,
Blinded by your echo,
Lost in conformity.
The Mirror
The Mirror Lies
(It Lies...)

[Bridge/Breakdown]
Wake up! Can’t you hear the sound?
The voices rising from the underground.
They’re singing the songs you used to sing,
But now you stand with the kings and queens.

The Mirror
The Mirror Lies
(It Lies...)

(It Lies...)

[Verse 3]
You said you’d fight for the voiceless, the weak,
But now your words are cold, your stance feels bleak.
A puppet of power, you wear their chains,
Draped in the banner of righteous blame.

[Chorus]
The mirror lies,
But can’t you see?
You’ve become what you swore...
What you swore you’d never be.
Preaching chains in the name of the free,
Blinded by your echo,
Lost in conformity.
The Mirror
The Mirror Lies
(It Lies...)

[Outro]
You held the torch, but you let it fade,
Trapped by the very walls you swore you’d break.
You're a puppet of power,
Hiding behind righteous blame
The mirror lies, but will you see?
Or will you remain what you swore you’d never be?
The Mirror
The Mirror Lies
(It Lies...)

It lies!

The mirror lies,
But can’t you see?
You’ve become what you swore...
What you swore you’d never be.
Preaching chains in the name of the free,
Blinded by your echo,
Lost in conformity.
The Mirror
The Mirror Lies
(It Lies...)


The Mirror Lies (Remastered)

I am the ice
I am the devil in mind

I am the man
I am the creature they find

Dead
My soul was killed
Deep in the icy hills

There is no life
No peace
Evil within the sea ice
Darkness was all around
Deep beneath the ground
Death
They came and killed
Nothing around them lives


I am the ice
I am the demon inside
I am the man
I am the creature
They died
Can you feel what I had?
Lusting
There is no compassion where I'm at


Everybody's gone away
Infects t-my mind
Everybody's gone away
Infects my mind

I Have No More To Say
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[instrumental]

I read the news today, oh boy!
Same today as yesterday
The mess keeps getting bigger
I have nothing new to say

[bridge]

Our world died and nobody came
In time no one remembered our names
We all washed our hands, it was nobody's fault
We all turned our backs, and sealed up the vault

What once had been fields, where trees had grown
Where animals lived, each a life of their own
We closed our eyes, ignored what we see
Now nothing is left, not a bird or a bee

No more shelter, no more life today
Floods and famine, it happens every day
War, drugs, and prison, are just a shot away
Not even a shot away, a shot away

A shot away

A shot away

[instrumental]

I read the news today, oh boy!
Same today as yesterday
The mess keeps getting bigger
I have nothing new to say

[bridge]

Our world died and nobody came
In time no one remembered our names
We all washed our hands, it was nobody's fault
We all turned our backs, and sealed up the vault

What once had been fields, where trees had grown
Where animals lived, each a life of their own
We closed our eyes, ignored what we see
Now nothing is left, not a bird or a bee

No more shelter, no more life today
Floods and famine, it happens every day
War, drugs, and prison, are just a shot away
Not even a shot away, a shot away

A shot away

A shot away

[outro]

[instrumental]

There were no more news today, oh boy!
All we have is yesterday
We never learned to live
I have nothing more to say

I have nothing more to say

I have nothing more to say

I have nothing more to say

[instrumental]

[Chorus1]
I'd like to place a collect call to heaven... Hey Mama can you pick me up... my time down here is not so clear, and it's time that I should come home.

Please Mamaaa... can you pick me up... it's time that I should come home... life down here is not so clear, it's empty and I feel all alone...

[Verse1]
Most every day on this bar stool... it's how I end my day... my old heart is sad and broken,  I can't fix it. or make the pain go away.

[Verse2]
Wishes don't change things, and nothing makes it all alright... except sitting on this bar stool throwing a few back. nite after nite.


[Verse3]
They say time will heal the pain... but I say that is a lie... the way I feel inside me is like a fire, that just won't die. it's just the way I'm feeling deep down inside.

[Chorus3]
So I'd like to place a collect call to heaven... Hey Mama can you pick me up... my time down here is not so clear, and it's time that I should come home.

Please Mamaaa... can you pick me up... it's time that I should come home... life down here is not so clear, it's empty and I feel all alone...

Collect call to Heaven

Once again, Sun Is Out delivers. Their new single, Stronger Than Before, is an electrifying alternative indie rock anthem. A wall of roaring guitars, razor-sharp drums, and a chorus of soaring vocals, this track has it all. Lyrically, it’s about keeping a relationship alive through life’s ups and downs, pushing through struggles and coming out stronger together.

Is this single made for Rock Radio? You’d almost think so.

Hailing from the vibrant San Diego music scene, Sun Is Out embodies the quintessential charm of the American West Coast: sun, sea, palm trees, and a laid-back, outdoorsy spirit. These elements come through in their music, which beautifully captures the invigorating energy of youth, as well as the rebellious fire that defines it. Sun Is Out doesn’t just make music, they channel the unbreakable, eternal energy of living free.

A song as polite and pleasant as the Grifter it's written about.
