The Sighs of Monsters - The Mirror Lyrics

And I am a mirror, said my father
Everything you see in me is in you
Don't turn away from your reflection
My eyes, my nose, my mouth, you have them too
There's no escaping, it's flesh and bone
However far you go, you're coming home

Searching for a new Jerusalem
I danced with the devil and came back again
If anything ever were written in stone
It's that in all directions you're going home

I am a mirror, said my mother
The light you shine on me will dazzle you
A spitting image of what went before me
And a shade of all that will follow when it's due
In every heartbreak, and in tribulations
You'll come to know that what I say is true

Searching for a new Jerusalem
I danced with the devil and came back again
If anything ever were written in stone
It's that in all directions you're going home

I am a mirror, said my brother Drew
My life and death silhouette in you
And what's more, it all casts a shadow
And a fog of fear chokes everything you do
This stuff of nightmare, this misty vision
Is not a haze you're going through

Searching for a new Jerusalem
I danced with the devil and came back again
If anything ever were written in stone
It's that in all directions you're going home

I am a mirror, the last survivor
There are only echoes left and their sounds decay
Where there was life there is nothing but shadows
And the reflections of my tears as I walk away
I see myself in your window pane
I know I'm never going home again
