There is in my house someone I'm wary of
who challenges me
who sits in my chair, is my spitting image
who breathes my air.
The foe in the mirror
whose stare chills me
is smiling, but I know him well
The foe in the mirror
whose stare chills me
is up to no good
There is in my home an unwanted,
elusive guest
who lives under my roof, sleeps in my bed
and never forgets about me
The foe in the mirror
whose stare chills me
is smiling, but I know better
The foe in the mirror
whose stare chills me
won't leave me in peace
Outside I walk past strangers,
shadows walking in the dark.
It's not from them that danger comes.
Now I recognize every evening
my worst foe in the mirror
I remember the man I used to be, but a traitor
took him away
Now which am I? The hunter or the prey?
What happened?
The foe in the mirror
whose stare chills me
is smiling, but I know him well
The foe in the mirror
whose stare chills me
is up to no good
Outside I walk past strangers,
shadows walking in the dark.
It's not from them that danger comes.
Now I recognize every evening
my worst foe in the mirror
