Lyrics
Davey thinks he looks just like
Davey believes he resembles
The face he makes in mirrors
The expression he makes when looking in mirrors
Only once or twice a month
Infrequently, about once or twice a month
Does the mirror do him justice
The mirror accurately reflects him
Every other time he looks a mess
Most of the time, he appears unkempt
He expects a lot from it
He has high expectations for the mirror
But then barely notices
But often overlooks its reflection
Davey knows we all create
Davey understands we shape
The world from in our skulls
Our perception of the world in our minds
Everything you think of is
Everything conceived is as real as we conceive it
Just as real as you make it
Emphasizes the subjective nature of reality
Now he only focuses on dreams
Now, he concentrates on dreams
Can you make a name exist
Can one bring a name into existence
Just by focusing on it
Simply by focusing on it
I've been around a mirror enough
Reflects on experiences with mirrors
To know it's hard to change
Changing oneself is challenging
We're like magicians when we dream
We are like dreamers performing magic
But we wake up, nothings different
Upon waking, nothing has changed
Cover up with jewelry
Adorning oneself with jewelry
But pierce all the parts you got
Piercing all available body parts
If the packaging design
If the external presentation
Could fix the contents
Could remedy internal aspects
I might distort myself a bit
I might alter my self-perception
I doubt that I'm the only one
It's likely others share this desire
To hope that features smear
Wishing for features to blur
Want the face that's stuck to my skull
Desiring a face adhered to the skull
It's just a mask
It's merely a facade
Peel the skin away and we'll trade
Remove the superficial layer, and we can exchange
I'm not so attached to this face
I'm not overly attached to this face
