lirik lagu aidan moffat & rm hubbert - such shall you be
“daddy”, she says
“who’s that old man in the mirror? he looks sad.”
i pick her up and feign offence
“old man? cheeky girl.”
“but look”, she says
i know this mirror well. i’ve seen it polished, repainted and cracked
i’ve seen it lovingly wrapped and carried from house to house
i’ve tied school ties in it, squeezed spots in it, gelled hair in it
it’s seen me bleed and weep, it’s watched me tend to wounds
and here it sees me now
a thin, receded hairline reveals a mole on a creased forehead
white hairs curl from my chin and plump cheeks
and behind cheap readers, my bloodshot ideas are laden with the sacs of seniority
“don’t open any presents without me,” i say, as i kiss my daughter and put her back down
i sneak away from the joy and the noise to find respite in the toilet
i lock the door, and in a brand new mirror, i fix my hair and beard, and regard my paunch
i sigh
i sit down and take out my phone
but before i can catch up with the world, my daughter’s knocking on the door
[knock]
“daddy”, she says, “come quick. i can see the old man again, and he’s smiling.”
