Curtains are open but nobody

bows on the stage

Theater of uncharted misery

Turn up the music and

turn on the lights

Cue up a night of those

beautiful fights in the cage

Jesters and dancers and symphony

Spotlights are pointing and

I'm in the light

So I guess this is where

my sordid tale begins

Should I be telling you anything

Should I just let it be

Echoes on the surface of minds

Images of shadow and light are all

I see

Mirrors and me, mirrors and me

Can my reflection be all they can see

Mirrors and me, mirrors and me

What if I disagree

Mirrors and me, mirrors and me

How can a picture of mirrors and me

Tell a story, tell a tale

A tale of how this void illusion

came to be

Line up the questions

I'll show you a man

One who knows

The price and the cost of everything

Stay for a while and

I'll show you the high

And I must show you the deepest of

all time lows

Feeling the power a word can bring

sorely misunderstood

Echoes on the surface of minds

Images of shadow and light

But I am more...

Mirrors and me, mirrors and me

Can my reflection be all they can see

Mirrors and me, mirrors and me

What if I disagree

Mirrors and me, mirrors and me

How can a picture of mirrors and me

Tell a story, tell a tale of fantasy

The narrative is simple tricks of light

and smoke

Stranger's mask, light and smoke

Royal voice, light and smoke
