lirik lagu jake wishard - metal mirrors
[verse 1]
sometimes with a song i try to capture it all
but i can’t so i stare at the wall while i’m laughing it off
but if i should happen to start rapping and stacking the bars
should i go after all of those who left a gash in my heart?
perhaps not, perhaps speak about the people i’ve met
that treat me like an equal and friend, but not to retrieve any debt
indeed with respect, they believe and got me believing i’m blessed
yet instead, these are the people i seem to forget
oh! goodness gracious! preaching, “how convenient!”
hard to see my angels but easy to see my demons
maybe that’s because the demons are the ones i’m feeding
the reason the secrets i’m keeping are keeping me from sleeping
run outside my house cause i’m having trouble breathing
want to tell my parents but i’m having trouble speaking
say i’m loved by god, but a lot of times i can’t conceive it
like the very fact that mary had the conception of jesus
if as god and man he came to raise the dead and heal the lame
who’s to blame for all the pain we feel on each and every day
got to be a different way, but if “i am” was the given name
is it “i am” or “i am” that’ll be the one that’s made to pay?
well if by adam and eve the fruit was eaten, why even
did god plant the seed in, the garden of eden
and let the deceitful snake in to deceive them?
forgive me father i’m farther from you
aghast at this p-ssage i’m reading
[chorus 1]
metal mirrors make a poor reflection
of this devil in a heaven that was made for lesser men
metal mirrors make a poor reflection
of this devil in a heaven that was made for lesser men
it’s a lie when i say, “its only just a visit”
its’ a lie when i say, “its only just a visit”
its’ a lie when i say, “its only just a visit”
i guess i’m lying to myself when i say, “its only just a visit”
[verse 2]
i take my heart from my sleeve and place on to the beat
for all to see into me and my very heart as it bleeds
and feel my heart as it beats, as hard as it be
it’s how i break these chains of pain that are harming me
i want to be free!
i’ve shaken the shackles off but i’m shaken and feel trapped
for the very sake of escaping, was i mistaken in that?
i’m hating the fact, that i made it, became afraid and came back
have i won the favor of my savior to keep me safe from “the black?”
a shadow can only be cast if a light is present
so understand every question i ask i’m sending right to heaven
i’m holding em tight as i’m taking a flight to the psych-ward on 7
sent on a pair of bl–dy wings hoping that christ will get them
but will “the judge” and his jury of angels drop the hammer
and lock me in the slammer, for foul words and grammar?
i was livid when i wrote this and could hardly even handle
when i burnt my hand upon the flame that i used to light the candle
for your name and your sake
is that the son of the morning or you lord in the doorway?
knocking so hard on my heart its enough to make the door break
hit the floor for a foretaste of an ensured fate
then to my surprise i find there’s silence on the other side
so i slowly rise but only to realize
it’s not the father of lies from which i’m trying to hide
it’s that faceless face in the mirror…and those eyes of mine…
[chorus 2]
metal mirrors make a poor reflection
of this devil in a heaven that was made for lesser men
metal mirrors make a poor reflection
of this devil in a heaven that was made for lesser men
it’s a lie when i say, “its only just a visit”
its’ a lie when i say, “its only just a visit”
its’ a lie when i say, “its only just a visit”
i guess i’m lying to myself when i say, “its only just a visit”
