Making Mirrors Extinct Lyrics - Singles - Lucas Carpenter

4 am, 

2 car garage, 

she sat alone with headphones on, 

tears smeared black, 

a cracked compact, 

she's curled up on a musty couch, 

every night, 

hating herself. 

she said, 

i could never get anyone 

looking this way, 

these shoulders, these legs, 

i mean, come on, 

look at this face. 

she wants to blow up 

all the glass factories, 

and shatter reflections 'round the world, 

but til then she'll keep it all locked up 

behind garage doors, 

mumbling to deal with her pain, 

it's the next best thing, 

to making mirrors extinct 

in her room 

there's a wall of dreams, 

with models clipped from magazines, 

paper thin, 

with airbrushed grins 

inspiring an inferior girl to 

think up tricks and cut corners 

wiping off her lips she stepped to the scale 

stumbling, and shaking, unsatisfied her, 

her figure fell frail 

she wants to blow up 

all the glass factories 

and shatter reflections 'round the world 

until then she'll just knock her knees 

to the cool tile floor 

and blast the bathroom sink, 

it's the next best thing 

to making mirrors extinct. 

well it all came to a head, 

broken shards, 

slicing arms, 

and hospital beds 

the doctor comes in and says 

"i know what you're going through" 

and the girl says, "no, how could you have a clue?" 

so the doctor rolls up her sleeves 

and shows the girl faded scars 

that read like a poem 

you're not alone 

see, i wanna blow up all the glass factories 

and shatter reflections 'round the world, 

but until then i'll talk to girls and then i'm reassured 

i'm not alone in how I think 

it's the next best thing 

to making mirrors extinct
