One Way Mirror

from Waste Not, Want Not - EP by Phill Vidler

/

lyrics

You’re the one who was the dullest of the crystals
You’re the cloud without a silver lining
You’re the match that’s spark has been disabled
You’re the cold room that the sun doesn’t shine in

You’re like a blunt pencil; there’s no point to you at all

I’m not gonna smile in passing
You’re just another teenage has-been
A memory left on the road
The echoes of the happy songs
Show that lyrics are sometimes wrong
And feelings that take no time to grow, take so long to go

In the puddles after rainfall
Is there a one way mirror to a future me?
Do they reflect who I am at all?
Or are they just water with the dirt beneath?

Detach yourself from the meaning
Don’t think about the shit you’ve been in
Just think clearly, you are nearly there
Nearly there

I’m not gonna smile in passing
It can only lead to crashing
A lifetime left behind
I don’t want to have known you
Cause all you put me through
Wasn’t worth the time

It’s a big place, when you’re walking on the face of the Earth
Where the best part of your life is at your birth
Find the one you love and hold onto them
Don’t write your life down with a pen
Or you’ll never come back again

I’ve read so many stories
About goodbyes and “I’m sorry”s
But this is not another one of them
Listen here, and listen good
I’m moving on like I said I would
Because I won’t write till my heart breaks again
I don’t want you in my head
I’d rather leave instead
This is what happens when you keep your thoughts intact
End up just facing the facts, just like that
