I Was Talking To A Mirror

A song about assumptions

Verse 1

I thought I knew who you were
Before you even spoke
Built you out of echoes
And stories other people broke

Painted you with memory
And colours from my past
Then wondered why the moment
Never seemed to last

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I was never seeing you
Maybe I was seeing me

Chorus (Earworm Core)

I was talking to a mirror
Calling it the world
Throwing shapes on living people
Watching stories swirl

I was arguing with shadows
Trying to be right
Now I’m dancing with the mystery
Of not knowing tonight

Verse 2

Every face a prism
Every word a flare
Every mind constructing
A private atmosphere

Maybe what I’m fearing
Is old electric code
Running silent circuits
Down a childhood road

Chorus

I was talking to a mirror
Calling it the world
Throwing shapes on living people
Watching stories swirl

I was arguing with shadows
Trying to be right
Now I’m dancing with the mystery
Of not knowing tonight

Bridge (Freedom Turn)

If I can’t know
What’s really there
Then I don’t have to
Fight or compare

If I can’t know
Then I can breathe
Let life unfold
Without needing belief

Final Chorus (Lift)

I was talking to a mirror
Calling it the world
Now I’m laughing with the cosmos
Watching meaning swirl

I don’t have to solve the future
I don’t have to be right
I can live inside the miracle
Of not knowing tonight
