Death Cab For Cutie - My Mirror Speaks

Lyrics:

With every sun that sets I am feeling more
Like a stranger on a foreign shore
With an eroding beach disappearing from underneath

And when my mirror speaks it never minces words
Because these eyes don't shine half as bright
As they used to do and they haven't for quite a while

Because I'm a man who hides from all that binds
And a mess of fading lines
And there's a tangled thread inside my head
With nothing on either end

I always fall in love with an open door
With a horizon on an endless sea
As I look around the ones who were standing right in front of me

And then my mirror speaks with irreverence
Like a soldier I can't command
It sees a child in the body of a full-grown man

And he's a man who hides from all that binds
And a mess of fading lines

And there's a tangled thread inside his head
With nothing on either end
There's nothing on either end

A new position for a different view
And nothing changes but the slightest hues
And I am standing face to face

With a man who hides from all that binds
And a mess of fading lines
And there's a tangled thread inside his head
With nothing on either end

I'm a man who hides from all that binds
And a mess of fading lines
And there's a tangled thread inside my head
With nothing on either end

[2X]

There's nothing on the ends
No there's nothing on the ends

Death Cab does not just write music; they write poetry.

These songs are as beautiful read as they are heard -- and this is my favorite piece of literature.

@asumbudee23 No. It just describes doctor House very well.

I just bought this ep, its so good, links to Narrow Stairs really well. If anyone has a second or two please check out my bands song an 'accident waiting to happen' we are from edinburgh and called the seven deadly sins find us through my profile or the search box, ben's songwriting is starting to become a big influence on mine :-)

This song reminds me of Dr House. :(

The change of perspective in this song is so lyrically beautiful.
