Carnival Mirrors
Introspectively incomplete
Reflectively insincere
My image on a sheet of glass in the bathroom’s
Inaccurate as a carnival mirror to my
Mind
Unaligned
But unable to convince myself what you say you see
Is real and not just you being kind to me

Mirrors (mirrors) carnival mirrors
Distort my image so i can’t seem to feel or think or do
Without my brain coloring
Conscious thoughts a much different hue (ooh)
Mirrors (mirrors) carnival mirrors
Bathe me in the violent violet lights announcing fear of a girl across from me
Mirrors (carnival) mirrors

I specialize in my disguise
And silently pretend to smile
I lie and sigh and waste away by waiting for another day
To help myself
Dumb down and dull my questions
Not to mention
When you can’t recognize your selfish self
Who’s got time for your reflection?
(carnival)
The girl speaks back
Inunintelligible tongue
Detaching from her’s natural
Separating air we breathe into our
Lungs
Where we’re from
Are far off lands with long blond haired
Fairies flitting aimlessly around

I specialize in my disguise
And silently pretend to smile
I lie and sigh and waste away by waiting for another day
To help myself
Dumb down and dull my questions
Not to mention
When you can’t recognize your selfish self
Who’s got time for your reflection?
(carnival)

Mirrors at a carnival
Distort my image
I can’t seem to feel at all
Without my brain coloring
Conscious thoughts hovering
A strange melancholy hue
Easier when you feel the girl you’re hurting
Isn’t really you
