No Mirror by Joey Cape
No Mirror lyrics
There are so many negatives
I can't focus on the positive
People say the worst things every day
They believe in anything no matter how damaging
Just damning with no regard for anybody else
Keeping no secrets, not even their own
Contemptible in their tone
Sounding loud enough so everyone will know
They are terrible, and I am terrible
But they own no mirror
You judge everyone but yourself
Can't hack that critique
See our dishonesty as you lie to us
Serve nothing that doesn't serve your immediate needs
To the death of all things
Even love cannot survive in your world
You have no loyalty, no allegiance
None that isn't benefiting you
In the end we are all out for ourselves
You are terrible, and I am terrible
But you own no mirror
This is the sitdown we never had
The letter I never wrote
You won't talk about but I'll buy this drink
And I say oh
Hey ho, hey ho
Hey ho, hey ho
Hey ho, let's go
One more round
Hey ho, hey ho
Hey ho, hey ho
Hey ho, let's go
Life is short
Hey ho, hey ho
Hey ho, hey ho
Hey ho, let's go
Here's to death
Hey ho, hey ho
Hey ho, hey ho
Hey ho, let's go
Here's to the sound of buying,
Sound of trying,
Sound of dying now.
