Goodnight lyrics

First place on a classroom wall

Every turn of the face can help to break

The fall from a domestic disgrace

Every rumor displaced

Is lost and found

A lack of discipline

One hand to cut the other

So unprofessional

You're not a friend

You're just a lover

Nothing exceptional

This is correctional

Mirror on the wall

Frame the picture

Reflect this kiss

To wish us all goodnight

First day in a victim's chair

Every surface replaced

Can help to keep you

Fair for a corrected gaze

Every feature displayed

Will match your crowd

A loss of innocence

One hand to wash the other

Be a perfectionist

You're nothing if

You're just another

Something material

This isn't personal

Mirror on the wall

Frame the picture

Reflect this kiss

To wish us all goodnight

We're all dancing

To the same sad song

And we're not sleeping

But it won't take long

Illicit conviction

Confessions incomplete

Correction

Submissive restriction

Instructions will repeat

Direction

Mirror on the wall

Frame the picture

Reflect this kiss

To wish us all goodnight
