In a Hall of Mirrors

lyrics

They wouldn't talk to me, they wouldn't speak to me, they wouldn't message me.
I didn't find the faith, I didn't fix the ish, I just went to sleep.
I didn't give myself no time to sit back and just take the feels.
These lot come to tempt, I endulge them anyways to keep the peace.

They were just prey for me, they were just prey for me, they wouldn't pray for me.
They were just prey for me, they wouldn't pray for me, not in these days or weeks.
And I wrote a question paper, a test I made graciously
And I asked, and I asked her, and I asked and I asked her.

And I asked her why she told me to leave.
And I asked her why we couldn't try again.
Did I want it or was it just too easy?
Cause after all this time, you would think that I might know you.
After all this time, you wouldn't think I'd end up chasing gravel that you've stepped on.
That just ain't the way.

There were talks with you/me in a hall of mirrors, it made me deaf.
I/you was telling you/me "what a way to go", and "it's for the best".
You/I didn't understand if I/you praised you/me or it just meant 'the end'
If the only way is up then you/I know that I'm/you're heading there.

But it was just prey for me, it was just prey for me, it wouldn't pray for me.
It was just prey for me, it wouldn't pray for me, not in these days or weeks.
And I/you wrote a question paper, a test I/you made graciously
And I/you asked for the answer, and I/you asked and I/you asked her.

And I asked her why she told me to leave.
And I asked her why we couldn't try again.
Did I want it or was it just too easy?
Cause after all this time, you would think that I might know you.
After all this time, you wouldn't think I'd end up chasing gravel that you've stepped on.
That just ain't the way.

After all this time, you wouldn't think I'd end up chasing shadows that you've slept on.
That just ain't the way.
