lyrics

So you saw it again, you were looking in the mirror
You didn't trust your friends but your hair is getting thinner
And reflections never lie, they can't, they're unable

So you're running away from an intimate observance
Like it has the plague underneath the surface

Old age is coming
Old age is coming fast
And with a vengeance
Out of your past, you're pulling tricks trying to make your life a mural
But even steady sharks start shaking near a funeral

And when you hear the roar inside
Come on, never let it out
Never let it out
Bottle it up and seal it with an empty promise like you do
Then start running again...
The marathon begins
And maybe you'll beat yourself to the grave...

You start backing up when you notice your arrival
But you're tuckered out, and no supper on the table
And food is the last thing on your mind as you're staring at your tombstone
Stare at your tombstone one more time and think of all the mirrors left behind...
