Break your Cage.


Mirror, Mirror on the wall...
Why can't I be just a little more tall?

Mirror, Mirror I hate looking at you.
I hate looking at myself, what can I do?

Mirror, Mirror so tall and thin.
If I could look like you, I'd be happy then.

Mirror, Mirror stop judging my looks.
You call me names, stare at my nooks.

Mirror... Oh Mirror, you're like my cage.
But now you're shattered and scattered by the heat of my rage.
 

Mirror, Mirror on the floor...
I feel so weak - I can't do this anymore.

Mirror, Mirror goodbye for now.
Maybe I can stand back up if I finally learn how.
