'PLAY TRICK MIRROR'

Satin covered visions dance along your walls
As time takes you for a ride
To hear another jilted lover ask you blind
"Are you mine or are you caught in a lie?"

I hear you beat—
We just let it beat—
And hid in rhythms 

And now you try to trick the mirror by shifting roles
In the scenes of a flickering light
Where still the past is just a picture and nothing more 
Than a dream further from the divine

And we watch it beat—
Just let it beat—
In hidden riddles
