Was it everything they told you?  Was it all the things they promised you?  Was it everything they told you?  Was it everything they said it would be?    Strange things move in the corner of my eyes  And the sky never looked so white and pretty  Tiny figures crawl upon my sterile flesh  There's a hole in the world, and it keeps getting bigger    Was it everything you hoped for?  Was it all the things you prayed for?  Was it everything you hoped for?  Was it everything you thought it would be?    How can you love it...  How can you believe it...  How can you need it...  When there's nothing there?  In space where the stars are dead now  The man in the moon still has a wicked face  But the more you reach for the heavens above  The more you'll hate your own pitiful love    Like a river flowing around me... Mirror's paradise  Pulling me in it's wake... Mirror's paradise    How can you love it...  How can you believe it...  How can you need it...  When there's nothing there?  I want to show you something so much better  I'll make the world seem a little bit deader  You smile... but it's all despair  You love... but there's nothing there    Like a river flowing around me... Mirror's paradise  Pulling me in it's wake... Mirror's paradise
