Tragic Mirror Lyrics

Here's a man
His own tragic mirror
Capable of such crimes
He is scared to look at himself too long at a time
Here's a man
His own wrapped up worry
Thinking he will do wrong
Very shortly the answer remains locked up in his head

And charity plays a game with your head
It gets to you now, it gets to you now
And charity plays away with your head
It gets to you now, it gets to you now
Somehow you've got to smarten up and act like nothing's ever gonna break you
Break you
Break your mirror
In two
Here's a man
Aware of his defects
Such a sensitive soul
Such a rebel incapable of detecting his faults

Here's a man
Self-righteous, self pittied
Nursing losses and pain
And inflicting, give that you keep them busy for days

And charity plays a game with your head
It gets to you now, it gets to you now
And vanity takes and go for a walk
It gets to you now, it gets to you now
Somehow you've got to smarten up and act like nothing's ever gonna break you
Break you
Break your mirror
In two

Here's a man
Really worth the attention
So mature, but so dumb
In broad daylight the answer remains locked up in his head
It's blowing around somewhere in his head
