Meretricis Babylon
I am the mirror
That you refuse to look in
Another serenade
To your God
And all his sins
I’m here to tell you
If you haven’t figured out
There’s repercussions
For every inch of doubt
You know I do not lie
Still you walk away
Into another life
When all I do is fade
Now you feel that itch
Your part your lips and sigh
It’s never quite the same
With those other guys
The blood upon your hand
Is not the blood upon my page
You’re looking to my eyes
But they won’t engage
You think you’ve fooled me
When it’s me fooling you
I see your buttons
Press
Then tell you what to do
You hang on every drop of blood
I spill in rage
While I lie quiet
Upon my private stage
I see you in the mirror
Smile turned into pout
Ignorant as you are
You don’t see me looking out
