Two-Way Mirror

A lack of light goes unobserved,
She lost herself inside a two-way mirror,
She sees a love so undeserved,
Whatever's on the otherside,
Knows her better than herself,
If there was a godsend,
She would send it back,
No need for heaven in her life,
All she wants to see,
Is anybody else,
All she wants to be,
Is someone not herself,
Yeah, I've seen worse these days,
Quit your job,
Leave your school,
Burn your lover,
Light a candle,
For the ecstasy in bloom,
Teach me how to runaway,
I know it's in my DNA,
I don't need heaven,
You'll do just fine,
Yeah, I've seen worse these days

You faced the truth,
With a mask on,
And an open ended name,
We're gonna tell you what you want to hear,
And you don't even know you want to hear it yet,
It makes as much sense as all of this fear,
Its rational so thin,
It always disappears in time,
Just give it time,
You'll be mine,
You'll be their's,
You won't bring a new or true thought to this world,
This is the word of god!
"There's no consequence!
For our actions anymore!"
You put your faith in the state,
Who puts its faith in the bank,
Who puts its faith in god,
And god is calling the cops,
There's a house party somewhere,
And he still has never found it,
You're not born hating dancing,
And music and lights,
And when he finally finds it,
He'll see that all is quiet,
(Yeah) You know what you know,
And then you never leave home,
I used to want love,
But then I grew up,
I saw your passions decompose and yield for good,
And if our time's up,
Baby won't you give up?
I've never seen such little hope in faithful folk,
Love,
Reason with me,
You called this home,
But were we even really here?
Lovers and idols,
Saints and MPs,
They will always let me down,
You said you wanted a change,
You couldn't care less,
If it was for better or worse,
You only transgress,
Just close your eyes,
It's much easier this way,

You've got to live through it,
You've got to live through it,
It's not enough to die for it,
To die for it,
No,
I've got this feeling and its suicidal, suicidal,
I'll take this feeling and I'll make it something alright,
Oh it's so unchallenged and it's so untouched,
But it'll go first man just you wait and see,
You've got to ask questions,
Or you'll become the question,
Or you'll have to concede that,
The kids are always right,
But you don't have the time,
No you never have the time,
To change your own mind,
Are you scared of what you'll find,
Everyone goes to heaven,
Till their visa expires or,
They join in a demo or,
The rent gets raised again,
I got this feeling and its suicidal, suicidal,
I'll take this feeling and I'll make it something alright,
Can someone tell me please,
Why the most basic things,
Are just so hard to see,
The only way to be,
Is to set yourself free,
Through solidarity,
And great sincerity,
They've never wrote it out right,
But the story's coming,
As a storm that's coming,
In--
What I'd give to see,
For more autonomy,
And no,
I can't leave it be,
(Think what you want of me,
Think what you want of me,)
Must be fairy tales,
And make believe,
(Think what you want of me,
Baby what you want from me)
If you really want to know,
You really want to change,
You bring it to the floor,
"The floor is where it hurts",
And if it never hurts,
Then you'll never know,
"The pain is on the floor",
You get down on the floor,
You get down on the-

When she wakes up she's filled with doubt,
Says, "I won't make it to 25,
At least I'll be surprised,
Stranger things have surely materialized"
But hearts of gold and chemicals,
A sorry for mix for honest kids,
Who wanted love, who wanted touch,
Who only have the world to blame,
After they see right through it,
This youth they don't stay young long,
This new love taking over,
I cannot fall or follow,
This is the moment that I'm reborn,
Give me some time to get my head,
I won't drown if I can fly instead,
I need some leeway or grace to tread,
This youth they don't stay young long,
When she wakes up she's filled with doubt,
"Says I won't make it to 25,"
I'm leaving,

You will learn to love everything,
What did you want to hear from me that you couldn't get from somebody else,
The stars have all evacuated,
The windows are empty as to, their sickly reflection,
Took my breath away but never gave it back (Why should I hold on longer?),
Ryan Bello Inés, you should have died,
19 September 17 (Won't you come back down to the in-between?)
Your first and last breath,
It's only you,
Your first and last breath,
It's only you,
This killer instinct's gonna get me killed,
This killer instinct's gonna get me killed,
This killer instinct, get me off this train,
This killer instinct's gonna get me killed,
You've got souls in your headlights,
Souls in your headlines,
Souls in your headlights,
Souls in your headlines,
Have you ever been scared to close your eyes,
In fear that you would wake up on the otherside, (You've got souls in your headlights, souls in your headlines)
Have you ever been scared to close your eyes,
In fear that you would wake up on the otherside?

Pushing daisies,
I rose,
Dead man running,
Left behind,
My shadow in the sun,
Clean and cunning,
Clarity,
Tender pulse relief,
Heartbeat drumming,
On and on,
I hope the stories go,
Long time coming,
Left behind,
My shadow in the sun,
Dead man running,
Left behind my shadow in the sun

Can't tell the devils from angels,
They must be soulmates or they all must be the same,
You either have one or have none,
You're either in love or you're counting down the days,
If god is love then am I going to hell?
Because I'm falling out faster than I can say,
"A light when out when I woke up one time,
Although you made this world,
I can torch it any day,"
I'll set a fire for you,
I'll burn this town if that's what you want me to do,
I'll do it all just say when,
I'll burn this world if it'll make you feel again,
If the holes,
In our world,
They began to show,
What we fear,
What could change,
Would we block them out?
I'm not scared,
I'm not strong,
But I'm curious,
What to do,
What to feel,
With new open doors,
I'll set a fire for you,
I'll burn this town if that's what you want me to do,
I'll do it all just say when,
I'll burn this world if it'll make you feel again,
You said you wanted a change,
But couldn't care less,
If it was for better or worse,
You only transgress,
You said you wanted to change,
But couldn't care less,
If it was for better or worse,
You only transgress

Out of view,
This journey has long been through,
Out of view,
The destination's broken you,
I'm on a collision course with myself,
My heart's in arbitration,
No holy explanations,
My transmissions failed their one and only mission,
All on one condition,
"Don't you dare come back until you're cured",
The Angel of Second Guesses,
Will haunt my children's innocence,
A consequence of all this loneliness,
The steadfast saints who follow round,
Her circular footsteps,
Now they've cast a nasty spell on me,
Oh, how they've put a wretched curse on me,
I will not be keeping you,
From finally being in the place you want to be,
I'm starting to think it was in my head,
Like we wrote all the lines that tthe other read,
But I'll always be worlds away,
Just leave,
The door,
Unlocked,
When you leave,
Cause no one's coming home,
I took my hands from off the wheel,
I was looking for a hand to hold,
And if I crash into the ocean,
I've spent my whole life treading water,
And this revolt against myself,
Comes to a stalemate all at once,
I just can't think the way I used to,
I have no plans on going back,
The secondhand saints of this town,
Couldn't transform boundless empathy,
Into a mere exchange of pleasantries,
I've opened up myself,
While losing track of who I am,
Now this heart's become a catacomb,
Just a place where people come and go,
I will not be keeping you,
From finally being in the place you want to be,
I'm starting to think it was in my head,
Like we wrote all the lines the other read,
But I'll always be worlds away,
Just leave,
The door,
Unlocked,
When you leave,
(Cause) No one's coming in,
No one's coming home
