Be what they want to see,
mirror their desire.
Don’t try to be
what you hope and dream;
it can’t happen
in this mirror dance.
Be what they expect,
mirror their thought.
Don’t try to do
the things you dream to do;
it will never happen
in this mirror dance.
The steps have been written,
the music taught.
There isn’t room for anything
that might be yours alone.
Be what they want to see,
mirror their desire.
Don’t try to be what you hope and dream;
it can’t happen
in this mirror dance.
Learn the steps swiftly.
Pray you do not fall,
for the music plays on;
the deadly music
of life’s mirror dance.
