Broken Mirror - Thieves Like Us

Two steps back from your father

With such a long face

There was sadness in your smile

There was sadness in your smile

Life’s not quite like you want it

In this collision

Light and sound keep moving

I stand between your two sides

Like a broken mirror

They’re speaking of your death

But I don t believe it

Still you keep the disease

Everyone can hear it

Two steps down from your sister

She ain’t got no friends

There was madness in her eyes

From a lack of faith and love

Three shots left in the barrel

But there are four men

Light and sound keep moving

You stand between my two sides

Like a broken mirror

You’ve chosen your own fate

But you just don t see it

Still you keep the disease

Everyone can hear it

I stand between your two sides

Like a broken mirror

What does the mirror perceive?

Is its reflection true?

Or false?

Do the cuts ever heal?

Thoughts

Distorted by fear, permanence, pleasure

All just illusion

Thoughts so clever,

All real feelings have vanished

(Counterfeit)

Unclear, you’ll mimic others

Until you become them

Finally the curtain drops

(Encore Encore)

Transients continue to drift

Dreaming
