This Mirror on the Wall

Bob Dylan style. Odd lines sung with a rising note, even lines with a sinking. Wish I had a way to record the tune.

I look around for someone
to blame the darkness on,
I look around for someone
who took my voice and song
I look around for someone
to rip apart in rage
and I find only this mirror on the wall.

I want to find that someone
who put me in this cage,
I want to find that someone
who took me to his slave
I want to find that someone
who murdered all my hopes
and I find only this mirror on the wall.

I look back at my life,
I see people failing me,
I look back at my life
and betrayal's all I see
I look back at my life,
at the tattered rags I am
and I see this broken mirror on the wall.

Someone's got to fix me,
I am a broken song
someone's got to fix me
and all I have done wrong
someone's got to fix me
and be my miracle
but all I find is this mirror on the wall.

Dear OI: Just as marvelous as your song is your introduction--concise, clear. Your description allowed me to hear the lyrics with B.D.-style music.
I love it. There are enough "alt" bands and singers out there--they really should pick up on your lyrics and send you royalties!

Dum spiro, spero!
(As long as I breathe, I hope!)

Thanks, Frankie

Thanks Rickey, "good to be back" Been mostly writing poetry of late, but can't ignore these tunes.
