lyrics

Mirrors

Verging on pass out in the passenger seat
for a night she never wanted
yet deep in herself she knows that this is a cold imitation
of truly knowing she’s wanted
she never heard those words from daddy
that all little girls long to hear
or feel his embrace to let her know
that she’s his cherished princess

instead she feels the embrace of a strange man
in a strange place with a strange sense
that this won’t be the last time

instead she feels the embrace of a strange man
in a strange place with a strange sense
that this won’t be the last time
she chases the hopes of ever knowing that she is beloved

it’s in the mirror where she met her mise en abyme
her self-rejection played out reflections
through endless toasts to the creature gods
propping up our world of comparative games
as she looks and peers and calls
on words on words on words on words of love
which couldn’t lift her eyes above

and so she feels the embrace …
