Mirror Tongue

Mirror tongue, talk sweet and shallow
Sell me dreams I can’t swallow
I'm wide awake in borrowed time
Click my veins and call it fine

Chrome eyes blink in the traffic hum
Gold smoke teeth and a plastic drum
Cities sing in electric chords
Everyone smiles, nobody talks

Sunset bleeds through a fiber vein
I chase the glow, forget the name

Turn the glass, find another face
Trade the love, upgrade the taste
Every word’s a mirrored prayer
I'm not here, but I'm everywhere

Mirror tongue, talk sweet and hollow
I'm your saint of the neon sorrow
Breathe me in, then spit me blind
Click my veins
And call it fine

I'm everywhere
And no one’s there!
