The Mirror Stage — Adagio

Lyrics/Bedos - Music/Forte

Verse

What is that shape in front of me Spying through the looking glass ? This figure is haunting me, Aping my every gestures, Stealing my soul, my self, The presence of menace is lurking Behind the translucent surface

Chorus

Verse

Chorus

I can't face that figure Who looks like me, like a twin. Who is in the mirror, The similarity, I doubt it can be...
