Sondre Lerche Tragic Mirror lyrics

Here's a man
His own tragic mirror
Capable of such crimes
He is scared to look at himself
Too long at a time

Here's a man
His own wrapped up worry
Thinking he will do wrong
Very shortly the answer remains
Locked up in his head

And charity plays a game with your head
It gets to you now, it gets to you now
And charity plays away with your head
It gets to you now, it gets to you now

Somehow you've got to smarten up
And act like nothing's
Ever gonna break you, break you
Break your mirror in two

Here's a man
Aware of his defects
Such a sensitive soul
Such a rebel incapable
Of detecting his faults


Here's a man
Self-righteous, self pitied
Nursing losses and pain
And inflicting
Give that should keep them busy for days

And charity plays a game with your head
It gets to you now, it gets to you now
And vanity takes your dog for a walk
It gets to you now, it gets to you now

Somehow you've got to smarten up
And act like nothing's
Ever gonna break you, break you
Break your mirror in two

Here's a man
Really worth the attention
So mature, but so dumb
In broad daylight the answer remains
Locked up in his head
It's blowing around somewhere in his head
