lyrics

poor reflection's been distorted to such ugly extremes
an obsession of proportions that have grown so unhealthy

but hey, what’s the purpose of your face
if you ain’t willing to embrace all the feelings it displays?
and hey, what’s the purpose of the mind
if it don’t work good in a bind
if you’re always in fight or flight?

stop and question what I’m thinking
can’t let my poor self be
introspection of the sort that disrupts all my routine
when I try and sort my problems I put it off til next week
in a moment I could solve them by softening my critique

and hey, what’s the purpose of your ear
if it won’t bend while I’m near
if I can’t get you to hear?
and hey, what’s the purpose of a smile
when it’s phony and unkind
when you’re never on my side?

and hey, what’s the purpose your face
if you ain’t willing to embrace
the lies it displays?
and hey, what’s the purpose of that smile
if it’s bullshit it’s unkind
and you’re never on my side?
