LYRICS
You got paralyzed last night in your room
because you were looking in the mirror for so long
Like Greek mythology,
you got caught by your vanity
And now it's your enemy and it's way too strong
Your dad hated me, I know that for sure
You said that music just isn't his thing
Well you know it's all yourself,
don't pin it on someone else
'cause you knew that he's the one
who's giving you all the money
But your mirror can't get you far
It'll only leave you standing in one place
And your money may get you far,
but it won't when you realize
You've been spending too long
looking at your own face
I see everyone watching you with wonder
Kissing the very ground that you step on
I see them all bowing too ya,
but they're all really thinking, "Screw ya!"
You know that it won't be long until they're all gone
You laugh and smile at everyone
to hide your own insignificance
You back-hand-comp. everyone you see,
but nobody is gonna be
as important to you as your own vain self
But your vanity won't get you far
It'll only leave you standing in one place
And your supporters may get you far
But they won't when you realize
You've been spending too long
looking at your own face
Retreat to your room, to your mirror
You're putting all your make-up on
The image you see of yourself
is not the same one everyone else
sees of you, because that fake mask is long gone
Now look in your mirror once again
as you realize who you are
A crack's on the thing you call your face
If only you knew what's taking place
The truth's coming out
as the nova comes out of thedying star
Once bringing beauty to all of the land
Now it just can't stand
to go through this dark embrace
The nova just brings it down
To send its bright ashes all over the place
You see, your mirror won't get you far
It'll leave you standing
completely alone in your place
And your vanity won't get you far
because you've realized
You've been spending too long
looking at your own face
You've been spending too long
looking at your own face
You've been spending too long
looking at your own face.
