Head under water and they ask me to breath easy for a while

Mirror


Your life is full of contradictions  
Yet  you  say, all is well
The tears in  your  eyes are of joy or
Due to pain, you can’t tell
Look at all the things that you do 
The words you say, light as hay
I’ve been trying to see right through you
I don’t see no light or joy, just lies and cries that make me wonder


When was the last time you looked yourself in the mirror
And you said oh wow I am doing well, I am doing well


U said u’ve got friends and kins who care
But u’re here, all alone
You think u’ve got all a man could ask
But within, cold as stone
Bluffing your way through the laughing club 
May the smile stay, in the night you pray
I’ve been trying to see right through you
I don’t see no light or joy, just lies and cries that make me wonder


When was the last time you looked yourself in the mirror
And you said oh wow I am doing well, I am doing well
