Replica - Cory Hanson

You were always searching for

A way to make it right

Look into the mirror

And it stares back from your eyes

Sorting through the images

You aged for several hours

Slept along the river

And snuck out of paradise

Walking through the memories

Of someone else entirely

You forgot your mother

And your father

And yourself

You wouldn’t know

If you looked me in the eye

We’re burning at two different times

Falling into a deep hole in the earth

Hiding below

The tree line

Incomplete predictions

Become incomplete realities

The hermit and the madman

Dying fortune-less alone

Underneath the river

Comes a cloudy rubber figure

Forged within a tortured hand and

Dreamt up by a world

He was dreamt up by a world

You wouldn’t know

If you looked me in the eye

I’m using you

Just to get by

You wouldn’t know

If I looked you in the eye

The truth will eat us both alive
