I'd cauterize my eyes to avoid the fear
Of looking into a fucking mirror
I see ugly, I don't see a trace of me
Tell me it's not true I'll smile and fucking disagree
I'd cauterize my eyes to avoid the fear
Of looking into a fucking mirror
It might sound dramatic but it's sincere
I'd do anything to look and have nothing appear
Distorted glass shimmers through my spine
Warped reflections this body's not fucking mine
My face gets cold while the rest of me sweats
Cope with a bottle and two packs of cigarettes
Strung out
And burnt up beyond repair
If I could see what you see I’d be fine I swear
But I don’t and I just fucking can't
I'm sorry for the bother
I didn't mean to rant
I'd cauterize my eyes to avoid the fear
Of looking into a fucking mirror
I see ugly, I don't see a trace of me
Tell me it's not true I'll smile and fucking disagree
I'd cauterize my eyes to avoid the fear
Of looking into a fucking mirror
Sounds dramatic but it's sincere
Every day is torture living with mirror fear
This body's not
Fucking mine
Claw at my skin
Dig at my face
Rip out my hair
Let's start from scratch just in case
Claw at my skin
Dig at my face
Rip out my hair
I can’t remember who I am so I’ll erase
I'll fucking erase
Erase
Erase
Erase
Erase
Erase
Erase
Erase
This body's not fucking mine
I can’t remember who I am so I’ll erase
I can’t remember who I am so I’ll erase
I can’t remember who I am so I’ll erase
Let's start from scratch
Just in case
Claw at my skin
Dig at my face
Rip out my hair
Let's start from scratch just in case
Claw at my skin
Dig at my face
I can't remember
Who I am
So I'll erase
MIRROR FEAR was written by Chris George & Tyler Dennen.
MIRROR FEAR was produced by Kris Crummett.
Sworn In released MIRROR FEAR on Fri Jun 30 2017.
Sworn In vocalist Tyler Dennen shared with Alternative Press:
Mirror fear is all about body dysmorphia. It’s about looking at your reflection and being not only dumbfounded by the foreign nature of what you’re seeing, but repulsed as well. It’s about having zero perception as to what you look like...
