The Villain In The Mirror by orionblues published on 2021-07-22T00:35:15Z Alternative Rock track from my upcoming album, Reality Monster The pattern to the maze is transparent I’ve seen it all with these eyes Every turn memorized, No surprise to be defined The view suddenly stagnant Out the window the same old fields Television sputter repugnant A churn of chum to these ears Can you disappoint, when I already know The moves you’re gonna make Can you entertain when I’ve already been Where you wanna go I wish I could give a reaction Lift my lips with a sincere grin I guess this is called depression Livin a life with a bottle of gin The likeness lies, the mirror cries A villain laughs, in my photograph I’m deified, yet compromised Is there escape, from my heavy cape A weepin man is alone in this land A forgotten puzzle no one cares to fit No one sees the struggle or feels the pain Drivin home alone again and again The world that you see is still sanitized Reality monster too much to hide So, we go along with the distraction Of food and fuck and the media life The age of destruction has come and gone Leavin poor souls in the desperate wake Clingin to hope in a time of despair Prayin to the god that He will really care A fall of heroes, kills our faith Kindles the fire of fear inside The loss of leaders, makes the case To restore the bond between our lives The likeness lies, the mirror cries A villain laughs, in my photograph Petrified and paralyzed Such a heavy weight, that I contemplate A knock at the door, the blood on the floor Screams in the hall, at the hero’s fall Genre Alternative Rock
