Mirrors
You
started out in corduroy with torn up clothes
T-shirts worn with no designer brands known
I could talk to you then, you were my one time friend
You were just the guy who made change at 3am
When I was driving home, look who you've become.
We
laughed at those big headed dicks, those limo pricks
Dirty nails we drummed out rhythm on pails
I could talk to you then, I was your long time friend
I was the girl who told you jokes after gigs at 3am
On my way back home, look who you've become
Now
you got some mexican nanny
Sometimes your kid calls daddy because you're never home
You married above your class
Pay people to cover your ass because you can't think alone
Look what you've become, went from someone to no one
No one I can talk to any more.
You
used to think on your feet without missing a beat
Slogans worn with the meaning bravely free
I could talk to you then, you were once in my head
You were just the pal had thoughts at 3am
When I was sitting around, look who you've become.
We
cried at political gaffe foes, those heroes we know
Sung about them long into the dawn of minds
I could yell at you then, I was trusted, glad, a friend
We got each others thinking even at 3am
When you left it behind, look who you've become.
Now
you mirror what we hated a little
Sometimes you know I giggle because you're so far gone
You become what we hated
People pay you to be sated and you hunger for nothing
alone
Look who you've become, in your mirror you are no one
No one I can talk to any more.
Look
who you've become, in your mirror you are no one
No one you can look at any more.
No one we can hang out with any more, just the mirror
Broken shattered in the pieces on the floor
