about

The lyrics on this track were initially written out on a mirror, hence the title.
It's also the first MoC song with percussion. Shannon and Keith hope to incorporate it into more songs, possibly adding it to some old ones.

lyrics

Thumbtacks on the walls hold up my memories of you
Mercury on the door reflecting everything I see, seems to me

Chorus:
We're all just waiting to see the cradle fall
What a most unfortunate turn of events
Turns out the mess is what we want
We won't be settling for less

Mirror on the floor somehow you're prettier to me, can't you see?
Pushpins punctuate the air, I broke the wall and I don't care, please don't stare

Chorus

Don't let the green god know you're more than willing
Don't let the green god know you're earning a killing

Out there where it all falls down
You can't stop haunting this ghost town
The stoplights blinking, you can't catch the wind.
