Look In The Mirror And Tell Me What You See

so you think you might be crazy-
you sleep with your eyes open
and run with the wild wind
but you know it’s not that easy
can you put the knife in to the bone?

so you think you might be in the sky-
you sing without knowing the words
and swim the rivers of chaos
but you know that’s not the reason why
can you skin the living with your hands?

so you think you might be at one with god-
you see the figures dancing in the corners
and you find the meanings of syllogizes
but you know it’s nothing you control
can you pull the stars down in the daytime?

so you think you might be me-
you see the bodies naked when they’re hidden
you touch the depth of strangers in disguise
but you’ve yet to reach precipice of madness
can you dive in the darkness and still find the light?

there are monsters in here-
and you are not the witch finder
and you are not the demon seed
there are monsters in here-
and you are not the bright light
and you are not the serpent inside
there are monsters in here-

so you think you might be a monster-
there is still only one face in your mirror
