Testo Hall of Mirrors

Ladies and gentlemen

I show you through the looking glass this world of mine

But I forget to hide myself in confidence

My cage enclosed
This Romeo and Juliet stand bleeding

I walk you through the open door

To find it all was washed away with tears of blood and holy water

Wept for me

I'll let you see the cause of my reflection

And she makes me burn



So I turn my eyes to you


Ladies and gentlemen

She shows me though the looking glass is broken shards

But I recall she's shattered all the mirrors now

My cage exposed

This Juliet and Romeo lie bleeding

She walks right through my open door

And knows it all is washed away with holy tears and bloody water

Wept by her

She knows the truth that's behind my reflection

And she makes me burn



So I turn my eyes to you my love



I feel like this game may be fated for us

As you can see right through my perfect reflection

And look at me like I'm the one you will serenade



Ladies and gentlemen

She brushes past my anathema

Tear me open

Leaves her smile to fill my consciousness

Sew me shut

Sets me down a broken man to lie beside



She's everything and more besides

Tear me open

Cuts me deeper than I ever could

Sew me shut

Picks me up to walk beside this perfect soul



I feel like this game may be fated for us

As you can see right through my perfect reflection

And look at me like I'm the one you will serenade



You cause me to learn from my mistakes and take a step back

So finished my last diversion

I know the last lines are the truth



You ask me aloud yet the words barely register

Impurity gone

Like an overture's violent exception

You're my only love unconditional
