Mirror Bride - Lyrics, music & video by Zeph E. Daniel

Lyrics- I sewed you together from a silver frame From a dish and a candle flame Pressed my thumb in your wrist bone And called you bride from a paper gown You waited quietly in the corner chair Face white as lace, hair combed back with care I talked for hours in that darkened hall You stared like you didn't know me at all Then your hand grew cold Cold as glass I blinked once And you were goneI I reached for you You shattered in two a ghost, hollow eyes staring into the abyss Mirror bride, mirror bride You were never by my side Mirror bride, mirror bride I fell in love with a lie Sweet little lie Sweet little lie Now I sing your name at night They stripped me of my watch and shoestrings too "Said son, that girl was never good to you" Now the walls hum white where your skirts used to sway And I keep count of the days that I haven't stayed My tray turns cold at half past three I trace the shape of your face on the window One nurse told me to sleep One told me to behave But I can hear your heels in the stairway cage Still your eyes haunt my bed Like sickly moons stuck inside my headI know what I 've done I know what I cost But every day sings what I lost Mirror bride, mirror bride You were never by my side Mirror bride, mirror bride I fell in love with a lie Sweet little lie Sweet little lie Now I sing your name at night If I close my eyes, then you're there again Stitched up in satin in the pouring metal rain You kiss my cheek and disappear into mist And suddenly, the room turns to dust. Tell them I'm fine Tell them I'm fine I just can't tell Them who's real And who's put on a show If you loved me Come back to me And get me the fuck out of here Mirror bride, mirror bride You were never by my side Mirror bride, mirror bride I fell in love with a lie Sweet little lie Sweet little lie Now I sing your name at night Mirror bride, mirror bride
