lyrics

I've always wanted to be you
If only I could do the things you do
Wish I could do it all again
To change the things that I've been through

And in the photograph of me
There's things I wish I wouldn't be
The truth is not a work of art
But from a distance I can see

The image burnt into my mind
Is something I have never known
And though my fortune's often kind
The beauty's never been my own

Everything that I regret
I will ask you to forget
Let's pretend we never met
Just how I'd hoped for it to end

And if you have a change of heart
Please will you play a bigger part?
Another story soon to start
But still the mirror stares at me

The image burnt into my mind
Is someone I have never seen
And no-one I will ever find
Just something that I could have been

I create rock/electronic/industrial -ish music with computers, guitars and synthesizers. Some of it comes out of my mouth. You are supposed to put it in your ears.
