lyrics

wanna get my take?
i think you’re alright
we deal in feelings
we think alike

intricate patterns
shift in the dark
we catch their meaning
we call it art

we run in parallel
we’re synchronized
birds of a feather
two of a kind

let’s merge our madness
our hearts combined
speaking the same words
at the same time

wanna be my mirror image?
a perfect replica
wanna be my mirror image?
the two identical

you heard the gossip
about us two
you saw it coming
you always knew

which one’s a double?
which one is true?
all scuffed and beat up

a carbon copy
torn from my skin
you took my spirit
you broke it in

you traced my image
but cut too close
can’t tell the difference
between us

you wanna be my mirror image?
a perfect replica
wanna be my mirror image?
the two identical

a double crosser
lurking in my
mirror image

there’s an answer in the glass
a secret in the pane
it’s been there since you first appeared
it’s shouting through the frame
which is left and which is right?
the compass isn’t clear
the moral code reads in reverse
the letters backwards here
is this our fate?
to run in shadows cast by each other's light?
the speed of light and vantage point to dictate who is right?
take a chance, we’ll count to three
and hammer through the glass
we’ll see which side the fragments fall
and let the judgement pass

we’re through the glass now
i turn to face you, you turn around
my lips curve up while yours turn down
do you think my smile controls your frown?
can’t you see?
i’ve always been your friend?
i’ve always been your friend?
so what am i to you?
what am i to you?

you’ll never be my mirror image
a perfect replica
never be my mirror image
the two identical

alternate
counterfeit
sticklip
bull shit
impersonator
copypaster
doppelgänger
self-hater
imitation
replication
simulation
