Lyrics

Mirror Deep - Bill Nash

Mirrors mark the passing of time, sometimes quick, sometimes slow
But always passing, another wrinkle, another bulge
Oh what’s a poor boy to do to keep myself in shape for you?
=
I don’t like wasting time at the gym, the narcissism flowing, and no double chins
The 6 pack stomachs, well defined pecs, oh everyone looks like they’re having sex!
Oh when did life get so complex?

Chorus
Mirrors, mirrors everywhere, showing where you’ve been
Where you’re going, no one knows… I think I need an aspirin!
Mirror, mirror on the wall won’t show the fairest of them all
Wake up from your long, long sleep, beauty is not Mirror Deep

Time is like a humbling best friend, mirrors keep you honest
No matter how you pretend
Together they lead you through your times
Through the wordless days and the pointless rhymes
To fool yourself is such a crime
=
The parking lot at the club is always full
They’re stressing out their body parts just to be beautiful
I guess they just don’t get the point
They’re going to die some day, they’re going to leave this joint
Oh, time and mirrors just disappoint (repeat chorus)
