The Mirror
by Incubus, Lord of the Damned

I look into a mirror

and my reflection flickers and wavers
cloudy and indistinct

I see myself

without any substance
without any soul
without any self

I see myself

through the eyes of others

through the perceptions of others

Am I seeing myself

or just the image projected by my mind

Who is this ghost in the mirror

Who is this soul

looking out

without being seen

looking in

with no-one to see him

Where does the ghost go

when no-one looks in the mirror

 

Where do I go when

the mirror breaks

I disappear
