Looking Glass

(album: Youth Is Wasted - 2016)

He's proud, proud of what he's done
Of whom he's become, too proud to care
He stares into his own eyes
Still don't recognize he's alone again

Hanging around like the nose on a clown
He's ashamed to be found in the state he's in
Oh, how he longs to believe he'll be strong
Long after he's gone away

You're fading far too fast
Faster than December
Faithful looking glass
Help me to remember

I always act a fool
Never thinking much about the things I do until I'm through
Like a little dog lapping at the floor
So my life goes the way it did before

Lord, my oh my what a shame to deny
Everything that's aligned with your ways
I'm listening, but my heart's next of kin
To that same deceiver of old

You're fading far too fast
Faster than December
Faithful looking glass
Help me to remember

Help me turn away
Cause I'll be here to stay
Unless I find a way to remember

You're fading far too fast
Faster than December
Faithful looking glass
Help me to remember
