Mirrors & Windows

lyrics

I am a mirror
Hold me up to what you want
And I will give it to you
I am a mirror
Outwardly reflecting just
Precisely what I should do

Illusions are my instruments
I obfuscate the truth
I need the smoke and mirrors
To disguise the bitter proof

You are a window
Beauty in your clarity
And light to shine right through
You are a window
A world of possibility
If I could open to you

Illusions are my instruments
I obfuscate the truth
I need the smoke and mirrors
To disguise the bitter proof

If I hold myself up to you
Could I become all you want me to be?
Could the mirror become a window?
The opacity turn clear?
The layers peel away
And leave no mask and no veneer?
The soul exposed and naked
Truly honest and sincere?
Or would you become a mirror
And reflect then disappear?

Illusions are my instruments
I obfuscate the truth
I need the smoke and mirrors
To disguise the bitter proof
Illusions are my instruments
They play a vital part
I need the smoke and mirrors
To protect my wounded heart
