I got sick of looking in the mirror and seeing the same face
I got sick of seeing someone I don't know
I got sick of singing the same words day after day
So I thought, I would write something new
I don't know where this leads
And I don't care, but you sure as hell better get away from me
I got sick of seeing someone I don't recognize
I got sick of scolding myself for being too nice
What kind of world is this, where the ones who pick up trash are the ones who've lost their minds? Have you lost your mind?
I got sick of trying to fit into the world's goddamn mold for me
I got sick of the narrow reflection sent back at me
All of these words don't seem to know me any better than you do
I got sick of being someone else's prize
I know that bravery is only way to survive, but the flames of such run so high you're lucky of you get out alive.
Smash all the mirrors, don't need to see you no more, I said smash all the mirrors, don't need to see you no more, smash all the mirrors and grind them to dust, smash all the mirrors and I will,
Become something new
