Guardians Of Atlanta 60
(Mirrorless)

I’m just a little girl
How can this even be?
Just yesterday my sister breathed
Her last breath instantly.
And the only father I’ve ever known
Is gone forever too
What am I supposed to say
Or even do?

Will anyone love me
Ever again?
Will anyone play,
The way we did, my friends,
Will anyone help me
To see who I’m to be
I’m mirrorless without you, Shruti.

Important people search
For a place for me to be
But they don’t know what I want
They don’t listen to me.
The needles and the therapy
They only make me mad
And think about the time we had.

Will anyone love me
Ever again?
Will anyone play,
The way we did, my friends,
Will anyone help me
To see who I’m to be
I’m mirrorless without you, Shruti.

Why’d those bullets steal your life?
And take you away from me,
I wish it took me with you,
Then I might be happy.
At least I’d be without the ache
Of wondering who I am,
Without my mirror twin to understand

Will anyone love me
Ever again?
Will anyone play,
The way we did, my friends,
Will anyone help me
To see who I’m to be
I’m mirrorless without you, Shruti.
