Mirror Voices

Mirror Voices I see you talking to the glass Waiting for the ghost to answer back You polish up the same defense To keep the building from making sense We lined the corridors with lead To keep the other floors from getting in Now every hallway has a throat Repeating every word we fed Reflect the anger, project the stain Feed the echo, protect the pain The glass is shifting The reflections bleed It’s just mirror voices in an empty hall Arguments bouncing off the drywall Nobody’s talking to a real face now We’re screaming at the glass somehow Trapped in the reflection, losing the thread Living on the lies the mirrors fed You wear the banner like a second skin To hide the hollow where you used to live You traded both your eyes to pick a side And called the silence honor, called it pride The hallway’s arguing with itself A row of doors that never shut All the rooms have been repainted To match the sermon in our blood Reflect the anger, project the stain Feed the echo, protect the pain The glass is cracking The boundaries fade It’s just mirror voices in an empty hall Arguments bouncing off the drywall Nobody’s talking to a real face now We’re screaming at the glass somehow Trapped in the reflection, losing the thread Living on the lies the mirrors fed It’s just mirror voices in an empty hall Arguments bouncing off the drywall Nobody’s talking to a real face now We’re screaming at the glass somehow Trapped in the reflection, losing the thread Living on the lies the mirrors fed I can’t hear my own voice anymore.
