End Title Music

Thanks to Google Alerts, I found out that someone was asking on Yahoo Answers about the song that plays over the closing credits of Dark Mirror. Unfortunately, something about the question "offended" Yahoo Answers and they deleted the question (ah, corporate censorship). So I figured I'd post my answer here...


The song at the end of Dark Mirror is called "Alexa Knows" by The Cartographers ( http://www.thecartographers.com/ ).

Lyrics:

Hate to admit it
But you were right all along
Turns out I was just a mirage
Cause he tried to touch me
But his hand went right through
Strange enough all I thought of was you
Flood gates were open
But on the other side
There was nothing
It was all just big hype

When he asked the question
Why’d you bother to lie?
I just wanted something good enough to hide
Was my reply

I can’t help but feel changed
Parts of me are ruined
From everything that’s happened
And I was trying to be sane
But I don’t want to be someone who cant believe in magic

So I pretend that I’m amazed
That I cant believe my eyes
He made the world disappear
But I do that trick
All the time

Did time make me look smarter?
I asked in the parking lot
You said my hairs gotten longer
But I still hide in talk
And I thought I knew by now
Questions only lead to answers
You never could allow
Any scripted banter

I don’t want to feel plain
You know me I write
All my endings tragic
And I was trying to be sane
But I don’t want to be someone who cant believe in magic

Hate to admit it
But you were right all along
Turns out I was just a mirage
