Mirrors

Dear Miss White,

Put down this night

You wouldn't believe how much it snows

In the summer heat

With red iron feet

You'll be nursing a bloody nose

Princess, rest

We'll talk in our sleep

but I wouldn't dare to sit too close

I can't be your prince

Though your secrets are safe

I am the mirror who can't let gO

With hair as Black as night

Her skin, a dead, pearly White

And blood red, on the bathroom wall...

With every breath

And every intake

Tip toe further away

You breathing and bloodshot, tired mistake

I'm no savior. I'm no saint

That's not what you needed anyway

All the cold that you caught

The bones that you've bought

The blood that you've lost...

You built your body in the coffin where you sleep

Let this apartment breath

'Cause it's what it needs

I'm suffocating the clock to keep you

I think like a saint

But swing like a thief

And inadvertently leading you

To believe I'm your prince

Adorn your bedroom with hints

Take the Red from you're eyes

And ink it into your skin

Now watch what you say

'Cause there's nothing Gray

About the color of your sin

A fix. Just a little bit

Give the girl enough to sleep through this

So, stop staring at the mirror

Before it tells you the truth

Operate or it'll kill you too

With every breath

And every intake

Tip toe further away

You breathing and bloodshot, tired mistake

I'm no savior. I'm no saint

You need to see the pieces you've thrown away

All the cold that you caught

The bones that you've bought

The blood that you've lost...

Keep your body get the hell away...

From, Me
