Images In My Mirror



Images in my mirror seem like strangers that appear.
When I look internally they don't spare a hint for me.
Images in my mirror seem like wrinkles that appear.
When I look internally they don't spare a line for me.
Images in my mirror seem like phantoms that appear.
When I look internally they don't spare a ghost for me.
Images in my mirror seem like bulges that appear.
When I look internally they don't spare a pound for me.
Images in my mirror seem like actors that appear.
When I look internally they don't spare a part for me.
Images in my mirror seem like whiskers that appear.
When I look internally they don't spare a hair for me.
Images in my mirror seem like face-paints that appear.
When I look internally they don't spare a guise for me.
Images in my mirror seem like ancients that appear.
When I look internally they don't spare a year for me.
Images in my mirror seem like furrows that appear.
When I look internally they don't spare a crease for me.
Images in my mirror seem like strangers that appear.
When I look internally they don't spare a hint for me.
