Narcissus

NARCISSUS
(Written by Ben Antoniadis)

Holy victory and holy defeat
Blessed the horizon where the two of them meet
We struggle and strive for some certainty
But our scars and stripes are threaded with infinity

Some go with the flow with nothing to lose
Some escape their ego with nothing to prove
But you, you, you’ve got too much to lose
And you, you’ve got something to prove

The mirror’s got you under its spell
You’ve nothing new to tell me
Now you know yourself too well

Beauty and pain turn day after day
How could it be any other way?
It is as it was when the Infinite spoke
The kindest blessing and the cruelest joke

The mirror’s got you under its spell
You’ve nothing new to tell me
Now you know yourself too well
