[Verse 1]

Mirror mirror please believe

I need to find a sign

All of my life's spent wondering

Who's hiding behind this face of mine


[Pre-Chorus]

Confusion, illusion, a misinterpretation

Of the original me


[Verse 2]

I need a sign, a simple chime

A windblown kiss across my mind

Solitude in the craziness

Of a world gone mad, a world behind


[Pre-Chorus]

Confusion, illusion, a misinterpretation

Of the original me


[Chorus]

What big thoughts you have

I can see them in your eyes

When you pretend to laugh

The reflection I see

Reminds me of somebody like me


[Verse 3]

Chance the day and spring a laugh

Don't stray off the beaten path

Mental prostitution

In this universal institution


[Pre-Chorus]

Confusion, illusion, a misinterpretation

Of the original me

Confession, aggression, my time to end the session

One bang and I'm free


[Chorus]

What big thoughts you have

I can see them in your eyes

When you pretend to laugh

The reflection I see

Reminds me of somebody like me


[Chorus]

What big thoughts you have

I can see them in your eyes

When you pretend to laugh

The reflection I see

Reminds me of somebody like me
