Scars
black, blue, and purple baby
 you can paint those nails up
 but what about the rest of your hands?
 red is not your color
 but you might as well get used to it
 cause you won't be scrubbing that away
 anytime soon
 
 looking in the mirror
 falling through the cracks
 there's no wonder left in wonderland 
 and i can't seem to get back
 looking in the mirror 
 and wincing at the sight
 you can close your eyes but it won't disappear
 wish with all of your might
 
 ghosts drift through your periferal
 memories locked in a box
 spinning like a merry go round
 where the hell do i get off?
 pretty pictures in colored books
 only show the surface
 it takes a pick axe and a giant shovel
 to unscramble this worthless picasso
 
 if it doesn't disturb you, it isn't art
 so smash me to bits and glue together the parts
 breaking the damn mirror to shards
 staring you down is what's left of your heart
 and you can't get away, run as you might
 this is what's left of me tonight
 
 looking in the mirror
 falling through the cracks
 there's no wonder left in wonderland
 and i can't seem to get back
 looking in the mirror
 and wincing at the sight of him
 you can close your eyes but it won't disappear
 no it won't disappear
 before it's time to fight again
