Mirror Error

Baby thinks he looks just like the face he makes in mirrors

Only once or twice a month

Does the mirror do him justice

Every other time, he looks a mess

He expects a lot from it

But then barely notices

Baby knows we all create the world from in our skulls

Everything you think of is just as real as you make it

Now he only focuses on dreams

Can you make a thing exist just by focusing on it?

I've been around a mirror enough to know it's hard to change

We're like magicians when we dream

But we wake up, nothing's different

Cover up with jewelry or pierce all the parts you've got

If the packaging design can fix the contents

I might distort myself a bit

I doubt that I'm the only one

To hope their features smear

Warp the face that's stuck to my skull

It's just a mask

Peel the skin away and we'll trade

I'm not so attached to this face
