Open your eyes, dear Damocles
Tell me, what's tied to my ceiling?
I've got everything everything everything everything
I've got plenty plenty of the good
Plenty plenty plenty of the worst
All seemed splendid
Served on a silver dish
With each great power
Comes a great terror
That's what they say
They want us to believe
So what if these dreams I tried reaching out to
Are light years away from this reality we knew
Mirror mirror, who's my living proof?
So what if I skipped my daily spoonful of virtue
It's not like being nice will bring me closer to you
Closer to your temporary throne
Closer to a world I can call my own
Don't look aside, dear Damocles
I know, your pride begs to disagree
They've got everything everything everything everything
Ever since all the way all the way from the start
All the way all the way before we were here
Everything that they wished
Everything that we missed
I earned it earned it, claimed the blessed
With each great power
Comes a great terror
That's what they say
They want us to believe
If I filtered out roses from your view
Will you finally see there's a sword for me too
Waiting at every possible path I pursue
I pulled off my dress, stepped in their new emperor clothes
You put on my coat
We stared at the mirror on their wall
Then with a giggle, you said
It doesn't suit you at all
So what if failures today make me a fool
Persistence always pays off in a decade or two
Mirror mirror, show me someone new
Hey what if I said that I never want to be you
'Cause soup of virtue is not gonna keep me full
So why don't you step down from that throne
So you can see me
Like the way I see you
