lyrics

(Verse 1)
I will never be as free
As when I was younger
I will never be complete again
Until I am under
The dirt in the woods
In the spot where we both stood
You caught every tear of our mother
Every mumbled word of our father

(Pre-Chorus)
I don’t know if I recall
The last time I saw my own reflection there for what it was
No I don’t know if I recall
Anything else prior to the moment where I watched you fall

(Chorus)
This is what I get for
Killing time on the floor
Staring at my reflection
A window into perfection
That’s just out of my hand
Yet it stands where I stand
Every mirror is a reminder
You were the better part of me, brother

(Verse 2)
The grass will never be as green
As it was that summer
The sky may come off as it’s clear
But then I hear the thunder
It sets a chill
It always will
For the times that I would kill for
Back at Hogwarts

(Pre Chorus 2)
I would give anything to fall
In your place
And in your honor
So you could carry on
My reflection’s smile cuts it close
But it lacks a certain kind of brightness
Only found in yours

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Every mirror will always be the one
The one the head master would lock away
From everyone
The one that depicts all our desires in every way
The one I look into, but I never see a change

(Outro)
Did I mention the ear?
Did I mention the ear?
I could have sworn it was there
My reflections left ear
