Show You

Give me a hero and I'll show you his sin.

Show me a victor, 

I'll explain why he can't win.

Present a success,

And I'll unveil the flaws.

Show me innocence,

And you'll be scratched with hidden claws.

 

Reveal this truth- I'll show you the lie

 

Nothing can reflect what resides inside

 

The mirror never lies

Because the mirror never knows

What evil can grow--

And so much grows--

But the mirror never knows

And so the mirror never lies.

 

You'll never see what's inside

 

Show me the truth- I'll explain the lie.
