the mirror shows nothing but your deepest lies

she exists between the hours

that the clock forgot

a part of the tea set

that the children left to rot

in the mirror she sees

hung upon the wall

she reflects upon her thoughts

as she ducks into the stall

she sees her face distorted

as it has always been

nothing but ugly and fat

and she loses it again

her mind alight with flames

burning her away

she reveals not her thoughts

nor the blood she bleeds today

the innocent others

corrupted by her taint

cannot see the angel as

she loses her restraint

satan rules the scale

on which beauty is sought

he pulls even saints

into his sinister thoughts

the fight never ends

as we look into the glass

and swear upon our souls

this pound will be the last

losing everything we gained

and not just in weight

it fosters in the pain

the anger and the hate

so don't catch your reflection

it's not you you're seeing

just insults and numbers

and rationality fleeing

this girl fell for the lies

of the mirror she never left

and now she gains nothing

but her slow and painful death
