lyrics

Open eyes all we see is what we want to,
all you did is what you had to,
but I play dead, a page unread.
A thoughtful mind is all we need to start the fire,
but I go blind when my needs dire
and words unsaid, rot in my head.

When metaphors mean nothing,
and all is dead and gone
I'll be just like a stranded ship
with all the sails in knots.
Though all good things must end,
we're wishing life away,
distracted by the mirror,
and happier that way.

Open eyes, I'm lost in my ceiling fan
a spinning torrent of my plans,
but I play dead, alone in bed.
If only I could redo all the things undone,
but not if I'm the only who cares at all,
I'd let us fall.

When tides rise from the ocean,
and crash into the sea,
I hope I'm not the only one
who blames no one but me.
I know I'm apprehensive,
and nothing's set in stone,
but every aspiration I have
will never be my own.

Distracted by the Mirror and happier that way.
Distracted by the Mirror and happier that way.
Distracted by the Mirror and happier that way.
Distracted by the Mirror and happier that way.

When metaphors mean nothing,
and all is dead and gone
I'll be just like a stranded ship
with all the sails in knots.
Though all good things must end,
we're wishing life away,
distracted by the mirror,
and happier that way

I'm happier that way.
I'm happier that way.
I'm happier that way.
I'm happier that way.
