In a mirrored room, all alone I stand
Strip away the phantom fame
Exposing all sides to see
The good and bad in me
In a mirrored room, all alone I stand
Seeing past the flesh and bone
The shame and the fear I hide
Could I show you what’s inside?
Would you criticize, scrutinize, stigmatize my pain?
Would you summarize, patronize, classify insane?
So I stand here before you
You might judge, you might just bury me
Or you might set me free
In a mirrored room, talking to myself
And the voices pushing back
I’ll let them inside my heart
But they’ll tear it all apart
In a mirrored room, just a simple man
Naked, broken, beat, and scarred
What do I really know?
That fear of letting go
Would you criticize, scrutinize, analyze my pain?
Would you summarize, patronize, classify insane?
So I stand here before you
You might judge, you might just bury me
Or you might set me, or you might set me free
Would you criticize, scrutinize, ostracize my pain?
Would you summarize, patronize, classify insane?
So I stand here before you
You might judge, you might just bury me
Or you might set me
Oh, please, won’t you set me free? Yeah, yeah
