When I look into the mirror
Just can't believe, what do I see
There's no wakin' from this nightmare
And you're lost in your reality

So you tell me all your secrets
And you tell me that you're innocent
There's something in your eyes I can see
And my face keeps looking back at me

You Confess
You can't help yourself
This living lie that you can't go on
You're possessed
You can't fool yourself
You're the crime and you can't go on

Another day, another sorrow
No today and no tomorrow
Try and wash away the shame
And you smile in your picture frame

You had a charmed life, but you think from grace
And you're long gone without a trace
You're all alone and wonder why
And you laugh when you want to cry

You Confess
You can't help yourself
This living lie that you can't go on
You're possessed
You can't fool yourself
You're the crime and you can't go on

You Confess
You can't help yourself
This living lie that you can't go on
You're possessed
You can't fool yourself
You're the crime and it can't go on
It can't go on

God never spoke to me about your sin
So livin' in our lies will test the faith
So cut your straight lines on the mirror
And dip your hands in holy water
Try and wash away the shame
'cause all you've got is your father's name
(repeat choruses)
