lyrics

How many times have you looked into the mirror;
Seen your face, stepped away but the image crept much nearer?
Double take, double take, Silver accomplice

In the bedroom, there she’s waiting
Feel her waken from her sleep
Rub your eyes of crusted dreaming
Check the covers underneath
Where has she gone?

You cross the room Down through the hallway, there she’s lurking
With every doorway she passes through you
To the parlor, there she stands.

In the mirror see her watching
Only the mirrors see her watching
Now she’s gone Look again
Each reflection holds her glance

She’s my silver accomplice
She’s my cold, deliberate smile
She’s my teeth She’s my taste
Lets me see to smear the waste to my face
And I swear. She makes me bleed


The silver accomplice wears a stone cold smile
I can see her. I don’t believe her
Throw a sheet over the mirror
Too green for the picking
But I’m rotten when I ripen

Oooooh, I’m shaken
From the sermon within her reflection
