Mirrors and Sleep Apnea

from The Fall of the Roman Empire by Nancy

/

lyrics

I went to bed at nine o clock last night
To get some much needed rest, clear out my head
I awoke to sounds of silence and your face staring back at me, through the dark
I shake, dare I move, lest I scare you ay that's the thing that I wish to do least
Now I'm sucking and gasping for my first breath as I move you dissipate

I hate this mirror it always deceived me
It puts you in the line of my sites
And I'll turn on a light, you have left me. I lie to myself "this was real"

I buy a flower when I think of you then I throw it away in spite of myself
To give up the game with so blatant move is not enough for you
So I'll sit back and tech you through frost covered glass
Admonish and feel somehow feel wrong
I'll sit back and make up I'm seeing your face, through blurred eyes I only see mine

I hate this mirror it always deceives me
It puts you in line of my sight
Then I'll turn on a light and you have left me
I lie to myself this was real
