Tears laced with cyanide flow through the cracks of a
Mirror shattered long ago
And, sure, I’m the one who swung the metal bat
But, hey, I can’t control the urge!
Nobody’s gonna blame me for that
Impossible, impossible
Twist and turn it right around
The details never safe or sound
The truth projected through a lens
With nothing proving otherwise
Now take the time to realize, despite what you believe
The victim of the massacre was none other than poor me
Surely you can see the problem, I don't wanna lose my own reflection
A deplorable perception of me
Was none other than an image of you
['One, two, three, break']
You're making a wreck of broken glass and leaving me a fuckin' mess
Bending light in a way that shows exactly how the story goes
Whimsical, dear, your lies are clear
Now who the hell would’ve ever guessed?
Play my games and abide my ways
There’s no way you can compensate
A monster, monster, monster, monster
Now run away, run away, run away
I'm a monster, monster, monster, monster
Now you're the monster
A glimmer of betrayal changes my mind
The odds against your favor, forever
Ignorant atrocities and colorless apologies
This isn't what it looks to be, I'm not as cruel as you see me
Now take the time to realize, despite what you may see
The mirrors cracked themselves and I was cut on the broken shards
And how I bled
Stuck in a spotlight brighter than the smile no-one ever saw
Bending light in a way that shows the truth that left our friends in awe
Bending light in a way that shows exactly how the story goes
Whimsical, dear, your lies are clear
Now who the hell would’ve ever guessed?
Play my games and abide my ways
There’s no way you can compensate
Madness, its madness
Oh, its sickening, its sickening
You know its unfair, its unfair
How you distorted my reflection
In all this madness, its madness
Oh, its sickening, its sickening
You know its unfair, its unfair
How you distorted my reflection
You know its too late

You’re lost in a world of fun-house mirrors
Twisted for eternity
Bending light in a way that shows
Refraction of hypocrisy
Whimsical, dear, your lies are clear
Now who the hell would’ve ever guessed?
Play my games and abide my ways
There’s no way you can compensate
['One, two, three, break']
Tears laced with cyanide flow through the cracks of a
Mirror shattered long ago
And, sure, I’m the one who swung the metal bat
But, hey, I can’t control the urge!
Nobody’s gonna blame me for that
['One, two, three, break']
