The Cheval Glass

Turn the cheval glass and find
Corruption under my skin and mind
You're so far from safety
Put your fingers to your eyes
And steal yourself away

Repetition, repetition
It will not be satisfied
It will not be satisfied
You cannot accomplish this
You cannot be satisfied

The worst isn't ever the curse
Of the cleverest lines
Sang the song of never, never believed
That you meant it this time

It's time to back all your big words
So come on now, come on now
But you're all lipstick and cheap skirts
You're the shining light until it hurts

Tonight, I'll make this bleed
Light up the sky with my misdeeds
'Cause I hate, I hate, I hate this, I hate this
I fell for the first time

Fall was upon us with all the leaves turning
You were so sure of yourself
You were asking me questions
Of us getting older

You hardly could catch your breath
(I wanted anything else)
And I've asked for the after remorse
(To stay)

And still these hands
But it never takes, never takes
Old habits are so hard to break

So you fall and circle through your life
That can't be seen
Avoid the brilliant lights that find you
(Because when they do, you know you'll have to)

It's time to back all your big words
So come on now, come on now
But you're all lipstick and cheap skirts
You're the shining light until it hurts

Tonight, I'll make this bleed
Light up the sky with my misdeeds
'Cause I hate, I hate, I hate this, I hate this
I fell from the first time

There's not enough wisdom or perception
Judge this now, take back your life
You are dying and the time you spent was wasted
On all the sick dreams of the lie
(The lie, the lie)

Pull yourself out
Made yourself in your own image
The praise you gave thousands of time

Lifted yourself up to the sky, the sky
Bow before all that you've done
The sky, the sky
Bow before all that you've done
