Mirror Error Lyrics - The Faint

Baby thinks he looks just like the face he makes in mirrors 

Only once or twice a month does the mirror do him justice? 

Every other time he looks a mess 

He expects a lot from it but then barely notices 

Baby knows we all create the world from in our skulls 

Everything you think of is just as real as you make it 

Now he only focuses on dreams 

Can you make a thing exist just by focusing on it? 

I've been around a mirror enough to know it's hard to change 

We're like magicians when we dream 

But we wake up and nothing's different 

Cover up with jewelry or pierce all the parts youve got 

If the packaging design can fix the contents 

I might distort myself a bit, I doubt that I'm the only one 

To hope that features smear, warp the face that's stuck to my skull 

It's just a mask, peel the skin away and we'll trade 

I'm not so attached to this face
