So here beside this tiny stream I have found peace at last
Peace from all of my thoughts
These waters, which mirror within themselves the mask which has become my life
Are not their murmurs a reproach?
Though she be taken with my looks
Behind that mask still lurks the evil face that so repelled, my dear
♪
Always pressing forward
Always falling down
I can feel my shoulder blades begin to scrape the ground
And I see your face in the light
And it reminds me of why I'm alive
If you tell me you love me tonight
I may start to try, start to try
I may start to, start to try
I'm getting older
I'm staying sober until the end
No need for having fun
No need for having friends
And I'll, I'll make it through tonight
Even if it takes some time
And I'll do it for you
But I'll do it for me too
♪
When I look into your mirror
All I see are glassy eyes
Underneath this toothy smile
Underneath this disguise
I feel like I'm made of wax
I feel like I'm made of thorns
I can't keep this up forever
I can see my skin's getting torn
And I'm getting older
And I'm staying sober 'til the end
No need for having fun
No need for having friends
I don't see the need for wasting so much time
Every second that passes, my life is on the line
It's on the line
♪
I'm walking on glass
I'm walking on glass
I'm getting through this year
I hope it goes by fast
I want to get over yesterday
But it'll take some time
It'll take some time
It'll take some time, yeah

Your cheek may well blanch, when you regard the ruin you have brought upon me
