Lyrics
His life defined by emptiness
For nothing can compare
To the author of his bliss
His vacant stare
It stares right back at him
The raven hair and ivory skin
Gazing at his own reflection
He can't believe his eyes
His only love his own perfection
It leaves him much to contemplate
This conjuration
It can never reciprocate
His vain affections
He's only felt truly free
Trapped in this fantasy
His addiction to perfection
Will be his own demise
His only love his own reflection
He can't believe his eyes
Gazing at his own reflection
He can't believe his eyes
No flaw, no failing
That he can forgive
A vision
Of a life not lived
The things he could have seen
The things he could have done
If not for having been
Obsessed with his own reflection
A mirror image that obscures reality
Its surface shows him naught but his own vanity
Here, by the water, I see now what can be
What joy, what wonder, reflections beckon me
Behold, ageless beauty, a marvelous sight to see
And now, finally, with passion I'm set free
My love! Don't you see me? I'm here before your eyes
Why do you ignore me? Can you not hear my cries?
He thinks himself to flourish in the bloom of youth
A self-deception to protect him from a bleak and bitter truth
He only sees himself
The world around him would astound him if seen through the eyes of someone else
He can't look away
His self obsession is what led him to decomposition and decay
He can't believe his eyes
His inner love and loss thereof his only thoughts as he withers and dies
