In a quiet town where shadows blend
Lived a man named Grey trying to mend
He walked the line of truth and disguise
A master of mirage with melancholy eyes
He preached of hope in public's sight
But in the dark embraced the night
A saint by day in secrets he revels
Grey's story a dance with his devils
Mirror mirror on the verge
Who's the truest who's the scourge?
Is it the face that people see
Or the hidden truth that's really me?
Reflection oh reflection tell me true
Do we know the man or just the view?
Then came a tempter in a cloak so white
Promising Grey a new kind of light
The figure calm serene in show
Was the very contradiction Grey didn't know
She whispered of a life beyond
But offered vices hidden as bonds
A devil cloaked in virtue's guise
Reflecting battles in Grey's mind
Mirror mirror on the verge
Who's the truest who's the scourge?
Is it the face that people see
Or the hidden truth that's really me?
Reflection oh reflection tell me true
Do we know the man or just the view?
Grey stood at the mirror's brink
Gazing into depths with thoughts to sink
A reflection of his fears and doubts
A tale of joy a cry that shouts
He saw in himself the tempter's cloak
A dual life words he never spoke
In the mirror a tear's descent
For the life lived in pretense
Mirror mirror on the verge
Who's the truest who's the scourge?
Is it the face that people see
Or the hidden truth that's really me?
Reflection oh reflection tell me true
Do we know the man or just the view?
Grey turned away the mirror cracked
A life of contrasts a heart attacked
In the silence echoes fade
"Who am I if not the shade?"
