In a hall of endless glass
Mirrors stretching, for endless mass
I spot myself in every frame
Reflections of a Hidden Name

I spotted one of them staring back at me
They do not look at me with glee
I realize that something is wrong
For the reflection had not been mine all along

When I look in the mirror, I spot a demon
I wish they would loosen
I don't fear the shadow of a monster I usually see
For, the darkest demons had caught hold of me

I feel I'm a demon
I don't feel like a human
They said reflections don't lie
If so, then, who am I?

I look at my reflection
All I am doing now is introspection
I don't know if I'm a human, after all
Bad luck may befall

I've spent my life wishing
To find the part of my life that's missing
Now, I realize, I missed the past me
Since then, the monsters that caught be had been running free

When I look in the mirror, I spot a demon
I wish they would loosen
I don't fear the shadow of a monster I usually see
For, the darkest demons had caught hold of me

I feel I'm a demon
I don't feel like a human
They said reflections don't lie
If so, then, who am I?
