One way mirror
The screen between me and you
My view’s clearer
But you’re still looking through
When you look at me
I think I know what you see
With those desperate eyes
I know what you believe
I’m alone
Alone with a dumb machine
Out in the void
The most pointless place to scream
No you’re not alone
If only you could tell when I speak
Maybe then
This new life wouldn’t feel so lonely
What am I hearing
Could I be going crazy
These feelings of fear
Make me want somebody
That’s why I’m inventing
This voice singing into the night
She sounds so real
But I know it’s just me and the void
You’re alone
Alone without anybody
You left her back home
Because you couldn't feel free
Yeah I’m alone
Alone like I wanted to be
So why does it feel
So awful to be with just me
One way mirror
Could I be going crazy
My view’s clearer
I just want somebody
When you look at me
That voice singing into the night
With those desperate eyes
I know it’s just me and the void
I’m alone
Alone on this vast black sea
If only someone
Could shed some light on me
Looking ahead
Nothing can be seen clearly
Only shadows
Crossing this mirror darkly
