Mirror Reflection & The Hammer Reinvention

I was right along
 And I was wrong to believe
 Foolish to doubt the self-respecting truths
 I learned while suffering
 Nothing happens for any reason
 There is no plan
 We are all just random beings
 Not destined for anything
 The world is nothing
 Disguised as something it is not
 Aspire to be something
 Appearing as you really are
 Dig deep to find your strength
 Trust that wisdom comes with age
 But when ways of old have been outgrown
 Don't hesitate to chop them down
 Once you've been levelled out
 Reconnect with yourself again
 When new ideas have led you astray
 Return yourself to who you once became
 The world is nothing
 Disguised as something it is not
 Aspire to be something
 Appearing as you really are
 Cut yourself down to the stem
 Stand upon level ground again
 Tear yourself all the way down
 And rebuild yourself in solitude
 When left alone
 The forests renew themselves
 When left alone
 Man improves himself as well

 You always knew
 One day, you would destroy me
 And I always knew
 I would have to be the one to restore me

 Your need for self-reflection is a reflection of you and a sign of the times
 Your use of self-expression is a weapon in the age in which we live
 When you hold the hammer, you are the weapon
 Smash the mirror for seven years of sacrifice
 When you hold the mirror, you're in reflection
 Reflect the truth and not the curse of superstition
 I thought you were taking pictures of me
 But that was just the lights burning out
 It was no one's dream to follow me
 When everyone wants to be followed themselves
 Your self-expression is a reflection of the mind
 Use it to make your peace with yourself, those around you, and the age in which you live
