You call me Houdini, and dare me to escape
Tempt me no more, watch me contemplate
Just what it is that I don't trust
Trust about myself...
I find some solace in my
Crack-backed friends
Upon the shelf
Because, I'm sick of you
I'm tired of me
Mirror on the wall won't let me see
Just what it is that keeps me down
Kneeling with clenched fists upon the ground
You don't call me no more
Was it something that I said?
Like the fact that "you're a heartless android
Without a head..."
I'm sorry that you take things
Completely out of frame
Not to mention all your answers
Were nonce for gain
Because, I'm sick of you
I'm tired of me
Mirror on the wall won't let me see
Just what it is that keeps me down
Kneeling with clenched fists upon the ground
Remember when I loved you?
I even loved myself
Such a wicked fantasy made
To project false wealth
But as the fog cleared,
The lighthouse shone through
I spoke over my shoulder "I'm through with you".
Because, I'm sick of me
I'm tired of you
Mirror on the wall won't let me see
Just what it is that keeps me down
Kneeling with clenched fists upon the ground
You call me Houdini, and dare me to escape
Tempt me no more just watch me contemplate
Because, I'm sick of you
I'm tired of me
Mirror on the wall won't let me see
Just what it is that keeps me down
Kneeling with clenched fists upon the ground
Just what it is that keeps me down
Out of the fog, clarity's found.

I especially love the heartless android without a head part. And the crack-backed friends part. -

Interesting stab at lyrics. I think you may have misused "nonce" - near as I can tell from the context. I think that with work this might not be a half bad song.
