Damn

Cracks in the mirror, six views of a broken face reflecting

Things seemed so clear, got muddy when I started inspecting

Run your fingers on the edge, careful not to cut your finger

No time for jumping off the ledge, close your eyes turn off

There’s a perfectly good explanation, wait for the full

Save the doomsday machination, or you’ll just end up sorry

Hard to steer the car from in back, don’t be afraid to grab

Fingers bleeding from rubbing that crack, sometimes the pain gets too real

Chill the water, and make sure the glass is clean, time to

I’m tired of all the troubles we’ve seen, fix your eyes on

Exhale and tilt your head back and smile, could be worse,

Do my best to forget about this curse, close my eyes and

Tomorrow’s another day you know, no way it could get worse than what we’ve seen

Wash that finger, bandage it before you go, hurts now,

but it gets worse if you don’t keep it clean

Damn
