False Reflection

What little we know, know of each other What part of our distance is real? Further from the core, core of our being A borrowed perspective, a voice not our own What we see is a darkened mirage Through the prism we broke out from One judgement feeds yet another This fractured mind, broken by our view of us What we crave for ourselves From anyone who will listen Is not enough, enough to maintain That image in the mirror You see for yourself What are we if not a false reflection? We've always been two, two seconds away From misery or bliss, now you decide We'd rather not see, see what is given When we can take the pieces and build our own What stands before us are manmade monsters Created by our own damn selves We feign a deep understanding of something Of something we can never be What we crave for ourselves From anyone who will listen Is not enough, enough to maintain That image in the mirror You see for yourself (you see for yourself) What are we if not a false reflection? From anyone who will listen It's not enough, enough to maintain That image in the mirror You see for yourself What are we if not a false reflection?
