The Mirror Stage Songtext
von Chewing On Tinfoil

It′s us, and them
It's the way it′s always been
It's the primary binary of society

It's scream or sing
Now I′m trapped in this bottle, it was supposed to be lightning
I may as well, I don′t completely understand this myself

It's this or it
There once came a time when you looked into the mirror as a kid
The world began, it began to split in two

And now you define others based on how they differ from you
It′s so true
It's so innate, so sick


Regardless of the grain
There′s the feeling that you're not the same
It′s not yet clear to you, that's how others function too

I behave in such a way
That my quiet confidence won't let me stray
From the feeling that I′m not the norm
From the feeling that I am informed

I hope we see each other′s face
When we both end up in the same place
My face will surely read
This isn't how it was supposed to be
It′s not what was promised to me

It's us, and them
That′s what they let me think
It's us, and them
It stung to realize that′s what everyone was thinking too
