Some people think they see a hero in you
I thought it too, but I see it's just not true
I've seen under the hood
That body's a temple, but the mind is a maze
Trapped inside a labyrinth
Guinea pig inside a cage
I've seen the real you on your brother's dirt bike
The things he'd do to you beggar belief
It started as an inkling
But now it's much more
The mind's most powerful
When it conspires against itself
The mirror sees
But he can't bring himself to look
At his own face
Are we in your lucid dream?
A little dream
Just like the snake eating itself
How can any of this be real
If you've never known true love?
They should be taking you seriously
Your way's the best way, why can't they see?
So you play with Beatrix Potter figurines
They remind you of your childhood
And they do not answer back
Hey, hey, hey
The mirror sees
But he can't bring himself to look
At his own face
Are we in your lucid dream?
A little dream
Just like the snake eating itself
How can any of this be real
If you've never known true love?
I had a dream
The bridge was red, white and green
You were trapped in a phone booth
You couldn't get out, I couldn't get in
What does it mean that you're being kept from me?
Can you really be something I rely upon?
I can help you
If you let me
But sometimes, when we're alone, Clark
It feels like there's something you're not telling me
The mirror sees
But he can't bring himself to look
At his own face
Are we in your lucid dream?
A little dream
Just like the snake eating itself
How can any of this be real?
The mirror sees
The mirror sees
The mirror sees
How can any of this be real
If you've never known true love?
