Oh, magic mirror,
On the wall
Tell me please,
What do you see in me?

"I see dry tears
Running off your cheeks.
And I see the fear,
In your eyes
When you think
They can see,
The bleeding
From your unscarred arms.
And I can see,
You tossing and turning,
Hours on end
In your bed.
And I can see,
Your dazed eyes,
Remembering,
The pain you go through.
And I can see,
The collection of tears,
Building up, under your eyes
Just waiting to fall"

Oh, magic mirror,
On the wall,
Tell me please,
What do you hear in me?

“I can hear,
Your teeth chattering,
In fear of
What will happen next.
And I can hear,
The voices,
Criticizing you,
And everything you do.
And I can hear,
Everything they say,
Repeating,
Over and over again.
And I can hear,
Your heart
Breaking into two

Oh, magic mirror,
On the wall,
See and hear me,
Fall to the floor.

Suddenly,
The tears aren’t dry,
Suddenly,
My arms are scared,
Suddenly,
My eyes see clear,
Suddenly,
I’m not afraid,
Suddenly,
I’m screaming,
Suddenly,
The voices are gone,
Suddenly,
The repeating comes to a halt,
Suddenly,
My hearts apart,
Suddenly,

My whole world’s dark.
