Lyrics - the 'joys' of getting older... |
There's a man in the mirror, Staring back at me, An image of a figure, Of a man who isn't me. He was younger once, with dream filled eyes, Now he looks back - and asks why, What happened, 'tween now and then? The years etched hard, round his eyes, Show each time he laughed, or cried, And there's nothing left but grey or skin, Where once, lush hair had been. Oh man in the mirror, Staring back at me, Image of a figure, Why can't I see, The man (the man) I used to be? Memories flicker, confusion grows, Like shadows dancing, they ebb and flow, Fragments of a life once bright. Now blur, and fade from my sight. This face, this stranger's mask, Bears my name, conceals my past, Who is it - that dwells beneath this skin? Where does the image end - and where do I begin? Am I stories told, or the paths I've walked, This race I've run, the fights I've fought? Oh man in the mirror, Staring back at me, Reflection of an image, Why can't I see? No matter how I try, In this ghost of a memory, I just can't see, The man, The man I used to be. In this image of an image, This man, Is fading thin. AI Composition ▼ |
