Shadow of a Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mirror, mirror, upon the wall I'm asking you,
Who is the most confused of them all?
Mirror, mirror, subservient twin screams back at me
"You"
You sick flawless mime, I wanna break you
(Yeah) you're a clever one....
Do you reflect me or do I reflect you?
Are you inside of another world?
I wanna break through
(Yeah) you're a clever one
Is this a tool? (Is this a tool?)
Can I step through,
to find another plane, (to find another plane)
Or just a shadow of a man
Superficial tool, (superficial tool)
To support the vanity, of weak,
when you don't love yourself
If life's as painful on your side,
I'll break your existence and cut through mine
(Yeah) you're a clever one
Are you a tool? (Are you a tool?)
Can I step through,
to find another plane, (to find another plane)
Or just a shadow of a man
Are you my brother? (Are you my brother?)
You look like me,
Trapped inside another world (trapped inside)
My lost twin
Just a superficial tool, (just a superficial tool)
To support the vanity, of weak,
When you don't love yourself
Mirror, upon the wall, am I the reflection Of you?
Mirror, upon the wall, are you staring back?
Through
Understanding has no place within my world
On your side
Are you a tool? (Are you a tool?)
Can I step through,
to find another plane, (to find another plane)
Or just a shadow of a man
Are you my brother? (Are you my brother?)
You look like me,
Trapped inside another world (trapped inside)
My lost twin
Are you a tool?
Can I step through,
To find another plane,
I'm just a shadow of a man
Just a superficial tool,
To support the vanity, of weak,
When you don't love yourself
