When I look in the mirror
I see mother
Her eyes brown
as mine; transparent
There is no hiding what we are
We're flawed and haunted
Indeed, we are haunted
As I look at us in the mirror
discovering what we are
Something beyond mother
Misty yet transparent
With eyes brown
Eyes down. Eyes brown
we seem to be forever haunted
In this place so transparent
as we reflect in the mirror
me and Mother
Together we are
We are
together in a sea of brown
Me and mother
Haunted
As we fade into the mirror
Black, cold, transparent
Loud desperation, recklessness, transparent
Forever we are
here before the mirror
Into the brown
The sea which remains haunted
Together me and mother
I finally see mother
in a world that is transparent
Black and haunted
As we are
Deep in the brown
Deep in the mirror
I see mother in the mirror
Her eyes brown and transparent
Indeed, we are haunted
