[Verse 1]
Muted Color
Faded sound
Unique souls are often drowned
Deaf emotion
Blinded sense
Suffocation strangles all defense
Opposites attract but egos clash
Microphones acknowledge who prevails
Words reflect a psyche torched to ash
Fire burns all the important details
[Pre-Chorus]
Crystals and mirages cast figures on the wall
Rhythmic revolutions trigger revelations after all
Who will set the stage now?
All the charlatans are on the run
I’m a fantastic actor, but that doesn’t mean I like how it’s done…
[Chorus]
You welcome in an imitation of your, imitation of yourself
I’m lookin’ at a mirror image of my, mirror image of myself
They look up to a carbon copy of them, carbon copy of themselves
I’m singing to a mirror image of my, mirror image of myself
[Post-Chorus]
They listen to me
They listen to me!
[Verse 2]
My heart is a target, breaking
Every thought taken hostage
Rewind the visions playing
Rebuild the mangled drawbridge
One mask is a torn up scar-face
Versus pure perfection
Symmetry is crucial in its place
Imbalance requires a swift resurrection
[Pre-Chorus]
Crystals and mirages cast figures on the wall
Rhythmic revolutions trigger revelations
after all
Who will set the stage now?
All the charlatans are on the run
I’m a fantastic actor, but that doesn’t mean I like how it’s done…
[Chorus]
You welcome in an imitation of your, imitation of yourself
I’m lookin’ at a mirror image of my, mirror image of myself
They look up to a carbon copy of them, carbon copy of themselves
I’m singing to a mirror image of my, mirror image of myself
[Bridge]
Where does it say that I’m alone
When I stand back and observe it?
Where does it say I’m on the throne?
What have I done to deserve it?
(x2)
Whoa, Oh
What have I done to deserve it?
Whoa, Oh
What have I done…
[Chorus]
You welcome in an imitation of your, imitation of yourself
I’m lookin’ at a mirror image of my, mirror image of myself
They look up to a carbon copy of them, carbon copy of themselves
I’m singing to a mirror image of my, mirror image of myself
[Post Chorus]
They listen to me
They listen to me!
