Just another day,I go about my business
I start to shave in my ordinary way
Nothing has changed, yet something is different
Ah yes-- It`s my birthday today
My skin feels a little tighter
The razor bites at my face
What are those lines in the mirror?
Can`t seem to wipe them away
And my vision is blurry, I don`t know what it is
And a blemish is swirling out from under my skin
And there is far too much hair in ths sink today
And what`s left on my head has somehow turned to grey
Like a picture in the sun,the colors start to fade
Like broken glass upon the shore, the sharpness wears away
My face bleeding, I drop the razor to the floor
I try to catch it, but my hands do not obey me
What is that pounding,is there someone at the door?
It`s just my heart,straining not to fail me
My legs feel so heavy
Each inch seems like a mile
Muscles burn from the effort
As I fall into denial
And my speech is slurred, I don`t know what it is
And my arm is bruised from where I`ve touched my skin
And there is something wrong with my mirror today
It seems my eyes of blue has somehow turned to grey
Just like a chameleon who changes his skin
I went to sleep young and virile,woke up old,tired and thin
Did I sleep through my life and waste away my youth?
Or did time just pass by and I`m denying the truth?
And my vision is blurry, I don`t know what it is
And a blemish is swirling out from under my skin
And there is far too much hair in ths sink today
And what`s left on my head has somehow turned to grey
And my speech is slurred, I don`t know what it is
And my arm is bruised from where I`ve touched my skin
And there is something wrong with my mirror today
It seems my eyes of blue has somehow turned to grey
