Mirror Mirror On The Wall
mirror mirror on the wall
who's the manliest of them all?
is it me even with my chest bound?
is it me even with this drawn-on mustache?
mirror mirror on the wall
lie to me gently if possible.
mirror mirror on the wall tell me I am handsome and the manliest of all, or just manly in general
because if I hear one more she instead of he, I might tear down this house and use the bricks to build a box around myself
there is no doubt that tears will fall
no doubt I will scream my throat raw
is it wrong to think "if I scream myself raw, will I sound manly?"
wrong to think about just ending it all?
because if I can not live to be myself then what is the point of living at all?
I don't want to be the next Rapunzel
I would rather be Flynn Rider who was free as a bird even while being chased by prison guards
mirror mirror on the wall
please don't let me stare too long
because I know if I stare at my reflection
everything masculine will eventually become feminine
mirror mirror on the wall
I don't want to be a Disney princess anymore
I don't want to be Belle from beauty and the beast
I want to be the beast
so mirror mirror on the wall
who's the manliest of them all?
