Lyrics
Mirror Mirror
Look at this face
Tell me who you see
Tell me the truth
Reveal what you know
When you're looking at me
Shadows in circles
Circles in squares
Squares in shadows
Hiding somewhere
Showing ourselves
Through the things we conceal
Tell me who is real
See that girl in the aisle
Tell me who you see
Painted face empty
Eyes looking down
What life do you think she leads
Over and under
Outward and in
Living two lives
Beginning to end
Tales we tell
Again and again
How can we possibly know
Tell Me How
One light shining
One light
One life hiding
One light
Two lives finding
One light
Oh who is that man
Do you think that you know him
Do you want to believe him
Oh who is that man
In this world we walk
People talking
So much talk
I only want to find
One truth to show me why
This land full of faces
All these people
Changing places
Tracing those we find
Behind the walls they hide
Behind these eyes
The one world I know
Changing every way
Behind this veil
I see what see what I want
Wanting more each day
Steady and strong
So faithful and true
In control
And always in tune
These are the things I say to myself
How much do we know
Do we know
Who is that man
How do you see him
Do you believe him
Do you want to believe him
Oh who is that man
Who is that man
What does he tell you
Would he deceive you
Does he see looking through you
Oh who is that man
Who is that man
Do you think he can see you
Who does he show you
How can he know you
Oh what is that man
One day I'll know you
Someday I'll know you
One day I'll find you
One day
