Title: My Mirror Speaks
Intro: x2
///////////////////////////////////////////////////
Verse 1:
With every sun that sets I am feeling more
Like a stranger on a foreign shore
With an eroding beach disappearing from under me
And when my mirror speaks it never minces words
That these eyes don't shine half as bright
As they used to do and they haven't for quite a while
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
Chorus:
'Cause I'm a man who hides from all that binds
In a mess of fading lines
And there's a tangled thread inside my head
With nothing on either end
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
Verse 2:
I always fall in love with an open door
Or the horizon on an endless sea
As I look around the ones who are standing right in front of me
And then my mirror speaks with irreverence
Like a soldier I can't command
It sees the frightened child in the body of a full-grown man
////////////////////////////////////////////////
Chorus 2:
And he's a man who hides from all that binds
In a mess of fading lines
And there's a tangled thread inside his head
With nothing on either end
There's nothing on either end
///////////////////////////////////////////////
Solo:
///////////////////////////////////////////////
There is two ways you can play the bridge. I like option 1:
///////////////////////////////////////////////
Option 1:
A new position for a different view
But nothing changes but the slightest hues
When I am standing face to face
///////////////////////////////////////////////
Option 2:
A new position for a different view
But nothing changes but the slightest hues
When I am standing face to face
///////////////////////////////////////////////
Chorus 3:
With a man who hides from all that binds
And a mess of fading lines
And there's a tangled thread inside his head
With nothing on either end
///////////////////////////////////////////////
I'm a man who hides from all that binds
And a mess of fading lines
And there's a tangled thread inside my head
With nothing on either end
(2X)
///////////////////////////////////////////////
There's nothing on the ends
No there's nothing on the ends
End on E.
