    Credits: Music by Tim Haig, Lyrics by Morgan Foster, Dedicated to Erin Ondersma

    Story Behind the Song
    I've always been very passionate about anorexia or body image, and it was just a matter of time before I wrote lyrics about it. I had a friend who was anorexic at the time, and I had a few conversations with her where she said some of the lyrics I later put in the song.

    Lyrics
    Mirror, Mirror on the wall
    What can you see, when you look at me?
    The image I've been seeing shows what I'm feeling
    Broke down and hungry
    Worn out from disbelief

    My lack of faith surely shows the way
    How I'm tired of this life
    Knife to skin, is there an answer therein?
    Where in my bleeding can it lie?

    Chorus
    What's health, when there's attractiveness?
    What's popular, without promiscuous?
    What's beauty, when the world just doesn't care?
    What's self-control, when the razor's right there?

    Mirror, mirror in my head
    What can you see when you look through me?
    Do you see a person or a body?
    Pale and ugly, so far from real beauty

    Make it through today, but I still say
    That I'd rather be thin then healthy
    Vomit and hide while the voices inside cry
    Take this cup from me

    Chorus (2x)

    Can anybody see any beauty in me?
    I'm on my knees staring at the water
    and right now the back of my throat is burning for an answer

    Chorus

    Mirror, mirror just turn away
    I'm too sick to see what's become of me
    The image I'll see can never be
    Perfect and flawless, which is where I've placed my happiness
    It can never be which is why I say

    Take this cup from me
