Mirror

Double-checking the mirror
Nothing looks any clearer
Walking out on an earful
Like a taiko drum, don't submit
Trying to fit those pieces again
Of what I wish I said
Somewhere in my head

Showing up when it's too late
In the dirt like a shoelace
Dipping out just like always
I don't sing that often at all
When I do, I try to recall
What I wish I said
Somewhere in my head
Hiding out instead
Of helping me pretend
