There's a man that I used to know And sometimes he still visits with me When it's late and the alcohol's glow
And he looks and he laughs at the sight And he asks what has happened to me And I blame it all on the lights But he smiles and says i'm mistaken And there is no use in disguising What the eye can so clearly see That i've spent my whole life denying That the man in the mirror is me
Give me one second chance Take a minute off my time
While he stares at the scars
In a child like illusion of life He imagined the things yet to be But they all disappeared on this night Carry on among the forsaken
For there is no use in denying What the eye can so clearly see That one day I too will be dying And the man in the mirror agrees
Give me one second chance Take a minute off my time
While he stares at the scars
