Don't be afraid
if you can't read
the words behind my eyes
Don't get so angry
'cause you can't see
past the lines around my smile.

I look left
to set you right,
while blending shadows
with the light
to hide from you
the place I grow;
the place where
only I can go...

Dancing in the mirror
behind my face;
where steel falls prey
to the leading edge of Grace.
Don't ask me how I get there,
I'm not even sure I know.
I just love to dance
in the mirror
behind my face.

Born to fight
for a fighting chance,
my weapon, sleight of hand.
Only seen my hearts
brave enough to listen
long enough to understand

When I look left
let it be alright.
The past's a shadow
running in the night;
still keeping you
against the flow
that would take you
where you want to go...

Dancing in the mirror
behind my face;
where steel falls prey
to the leading edge of Grace
If you don't fear your reflection
looking back from my heart
You'll dance with me
in the mirror
behind my face.
