Smoke and Mirrors
Everything I touch
Comes crashing around me
Breaks into shards of glass
As fragile as memories
Hollow and empty
The pieces still stain my feet
When did the tales of young
Disappear from our dreams
Were they devoured by reason
Or is it something more
Hiding behind
Smoke and mirrors
Is this the alternative
For facing tomorrow's horrors
Hiding behind
The mist and the liar
I'm sick of these Malicious desires
Fucking tell me
Who is in my mirror
I don't recognize that face
Anymore
Shit
I don't want to know
(What is the purpose of this damn thing?)
As a dorky teenager, I'd like to think the child in me is still alive....... Great take on looking in mirrors! (I often don't like what I see, so I try to avoid!)
Great write and read as well!!! (new favorite? maybe....)

The purpose behind this one
The purpose behind this one is living a lie for so long you forget who you really are, or however the reader wishes to interpret it. Thanks for reading!
Absolutely loved this. We
Absolutely loved this. We always struggle with keeping the little kid in us alive. It's easier to dream, believe...achieve. So relatable and true. I can't tell you how many times I've looked in the mirror wandering who I am. This is beautiful. The 7th and 8th lines are incredible.

Thank you for your input! It means a lot. You guys will probably help give direction to the song when I decide to work on it again.

I love how it went from talking about the world around you to actually talking about you. The meaning I get from this is that when the world changes around us, we change too.

Smoke & Mirrors
Magic allusion - puff of smoke the vanished return, mirrors redirect the audience for the slight of hand - Enjoyed the depth and the self revalations - like you I don't wanna know either who is in the mirror. She ain't 20 anymore, I know that :D ~
