Mirror Freak

Freak, freak
Mirror, mirror
Freak, freak
Mirror, mirror, mirror, mirror.....

I wander lonely as a freak
Your smile is distant, frozen, weak
It's not the solitude I seek
Just shelter from the pain

And all at once I see a crowd
With sparkly smiles, and laughter, loud
But superficial, hardened, proud
To never be with me

I wander lonely as a freak
Your smile is distant, frozen, weak
It's not the solitude I seek
Just shelter from the pain

And all at once I see a crowd
With sparkly smiles, and laughter, loud
But superficial, hardened, proud
To never be with me

Freak, freak
Mirror, mirror
Freak, freak
Crying
Speak, speak
Never, never
Speak, speak
Lying
Stop, stop
Better, better
Stop, stop
Trying, crying, flying, trying

Freak, freak
Mirror, mirror
Freak, freak
Crying
Speak, speak
Never, never
Speak, speak
Lying
Stop, stop
Better, better
Stop, stop
Trying, crying, flying, trying

Don't tell me you know how I feel
Don't tell me coz you've not been there
Don't tell me that this isn't real
Don't tell me coz you do not care

Don't tell me you know how I feel
Don't tell me coz you've not been there
Don't tell me that this isn't real
Don't tell me coz you do not care
You do not care

I lie alone and try to sleep
I'm counting ghosts, instead of sheep
Of shallow hearts, which once ran deep
But only in my dreams

I wander lonely as a freak
Torn up inside, outside the clique
Too numb to think, too tired to speak
When no-one wants to hear

And, once again, the mirror's cracked
Without the strength to stay intact
A million faces staring back
And every one is me

Freak, freak
Mirror, mirror
Freak, freak
Crying
Speak, speak
Never, never
Speak, speak
Lying
Stop, stop
Better, better
Stop, stop
Trying, crying, flying, trying

Freak, freak
Mirror, mirror
Freak, freak
Crying
Speak, speak
Never, never
Speak, speak
Lying
Stop, stop
Better, better
Stop, stop
Trying, crying, flying, trying

Mirror, mirror
Freak, freak.
