Mirror

I feel hopeless when you hold up the mirror
My face does not match the girl's on screen
My soul is sideways and doesn't know itself
The white man sees me Asian
The Asian sees me white

I see through me when I look in the mirror
With only echoes from periphery
When you come to face me
You define me with your sight
But if you try to box me in
I'll show you loneliness

I don't know what I see in the mirror
But it isn't what you see
You're the man with the nightmarish vision
Who shows me plastic teeth

I feel hopeless when you hold up the mirror
I thought your love would mean much more than that
My soul is sideways and doesn't know itself
But if you try to box me in
I'll show you loneliness

I don't know what I see in the mirror
But it isn't what you see
You're the man with the nightmarish vision
Who shows me plastic teeth

I don't know what I see in the mirror
But it isn't what you see
You dreamed of me as your binary lover
It isn't what you need
