‘Look in the mirror, not sure what I see,
Had to kill myself to face reality,
Now someone else stares back at me,
Someone else not sure I can be,
Look in the mirror, not sure what I see,
Had to kill myself, embrace reality,
Now someone else stares back at me,
Someone else not sure I can be.’
‘Can’t drink again as I won’t stop,
Smoke green again as I won’t stop,
Sniff gear again as I won’t stop,
Fuck a brass again I’ll get nob rot,
There’s no escaping it, I’m like a gun cocked,
No debating it, gotta boycott,
I’m like a robot, it’s like I know not,
What I do, what I get into,
If illicit complicit, break taboos.
Not the full ticket lost all my screws,
I’ve a rep that I can’t help live up too,
Be a prick, to all that I run into,
Unconcerned with any other point of view!
I’ve no empathy like you humans do,
I’ve a warped and twisted misty world view.’
‘Look in the mirror, not sure what I see,
Had to kill myself to face reality,
Now someone else stares back at me,
Someone else not sure I can be,
Look in the mirror, not sure what I see,
Had to kill myself, embrace reality,
Now someone else stares back at me,
Someone else not sure I can be.’
‘See I’ve not got respect for you,
If shipwrecked as you slept I’d desert the crew,
Defect from our sect and form a coup,
Even call collect from fucking Timbuktu,
In a casino all on twenty two,
Debts from rash bets I shall accrue,
And all from the money I blagged off you,
Come too in a day or two with no clue,
Of the hullabaloo you were all put through.
Give a fuck!!! Pass the buck to you,
My words slurred, absurd untrue,
Chaos and carnage with duly ensue,
Unruly my call of duty came through,
But thought for myself, thought fuck all of you.’
‘Look in the mirror, not sure what I see,
Had to kill myself to face reality,
Now someone else stares back at me,
Someone else not sure I can be,
Look in the mirror, not sure what I see,
Had to kill myself, embrace reality,
Now someone else stares back at me,
Someone else not sure I can be.’
‘Can a leopard really change spots?
Raging addict really detox,
Warped Tranny stop wearing frocks,
Delete data from the black box,
Change sex? Switch cunts for cocks,
Plagued by thoughts I cannot outfox,
Tried every old trick to pick my locks,
But keep on hitting these mental blocks,
Self-flagellation locked my own stocks,
In indignation as the clock tick tocks,
Paradox, king living in a cardboard box,
Shy away whenever opportunity knocks,
Feel a flop, flipped lid, lit tinderbox,
In the shit even worse than Amanada Knox’
‘Look in the mirror, not sure what I see,
Had to kill myself to face reality,
Now someone else stares back at me,
Someone else not sure I can be,
Look in the mirror, not sure what I see,
Had to kill myself, embrace reality,
Now someone else stares back at me,
Someone else not sure I can be.’
