Just another day,I go about my business

I start to shave in my ordinary way

Nothing has changed, yet something is different

Ah yes-- It's my birthday today

My skin feels a little tighter

The razor bites at my face

What are those lines in the mirror?

Can't seem to wipe them away

And my vision is blurry, I don't know what it is

And a blemish is swirling out from under my skin

And there is far too much hair in ths sink today

And what's left on my head has somehow turned to grey

Like a picture in the sun,the colors start to fade

Like broken glass upon the shore, the sharpness wears away

My face bleeding, I drop the razor to the floor

I try to catch it, but my hands do not obey me

What is that pounding,is there someone at the door?

It's just my heart,straining not to fail me

My legs feel so heavy

Each inch seems like a mile

Muscles burn from the effort

As I fall into denial

And my speech is slurred, I don't know what it is

And my arm is bruised from where I've touched my skin

And there is something wrong with my mirror today

It seems my eyes of blue has somehow turned to grey

Just like a chameleon who changes his skin

I went to sleep young and virile,woke up old,tired and thin

Did I sleep through my life and waste away my youth?

Or did time just pass by and I'm denying the truth?

And my vision is blurry, I don't know what it is

And a blemish is swirling out from under my skin

And there is far too much hair in ths sink today

And what's left on my head has somehow turned to grey

And my speech is slurred, I don't know what it is

And my arm is bruised from where I've touched my skin

And there is something wrong with my mirror today

It seems my eyes of blue has somehow turned to grey
