Title: The Mirroring

I thought I had echolalia
But that wasn't it at all
I can't even say it
Mirror, mirror

I went to Hull for two weeks
I came back with the full accent
And a shell suit, it was the 80's!
Mirror, mirror

Apparently it's called Mirroring
The Hull accent lasted a week
The shell suit slightly longer
Mirror, mirror

Personality disorder
Vacant or distorted self-image
Absent or useless parents
Mirror, mirror

This is The Mirroring
I've learnt to wear a mask
Resist copying those I speak to
Smash it! Smash it!
