Copycat Lyrics by William Caesar

I Saw An Owl In The Mirror

2012

[Verse 1]
I saw you as my role model
A perfect image like no other
I guess every image has bent corners
Papercuts you gave like butter

I took the train when I left home
Your imprints still visible
The house we grew up in
Yet it feels so different

[Chorus]
The way you went away
Maybe I should do the same
The way you left me pain
Maybe I should do the same

Except, I won't be missed
Kiss of death lines the rims
I tried to do the same
I'm just not as great

[Verse 2]
Prescription in the stomach
Threw them down my gullet
Didn't go as scripted
How did you do it so perfect?

Always a step above
But now you're in the sun
Visits to your grave
I wish I was the same

[Chorus]
The way you went away
Maybe I should do the same
The way you left me pain
Maybe I should do the same

Except, I won't be missed
Kiss of death lines the rims
I tried to do the same
I'm just not as great

[Verse 3]
I remember what you told me
"Listen to your parents."
So I did what you told me
Why am I still living?

The candles with no light
The dogs with no bite
The dad with no wife
I'm no longer the sun of your sky
