[00:48.235]Looking in the mirror, Harry didn't like what he saw
[00:56.359]The cheeks of his mother, the eyes of his father
[00:59.546]As each day crashed around him, the future stood revealed
[01:04.326]He was turning into his parents
[01:08.166]The final disappointment
[01:15.167]
[01:29.691]Stepping out of the shower, Harry stared at himself
[01:42.021]His hairline receding, the slight overbite
[01:45.391]He picked up the razor to begin his shaving
[01:47.820]And thought: "oh, I wish I was different."
[02:03.990]
[02:14.753]I wish I was stronger; I wish I was thinner
[02:23.216]I wish I didn't have this nose
[02:27.161]These ears that stick out remind me of my father
[02:30.661]And I don't want to be reminded at all
[02:36.068]The final disappointment
[03:00.728]
[03:03.053]Harry looked into the mirror, thinking of Vincent Van Gogh
[03:07.102]And with a quick swipe lopped off his nose
[03:12.483]And happy with that he made a slice where his chin was
[03:16.480]He's always wanted a dimple
[03:18.674]The end of all illusion
[03:22.384]Then peering down straight between his legs
[03:26.354]Harry thought of the range of possibilities
[03:29.933]A new face, a new life, no memories of the past
[03:35.915]And slit his throat from ear to ear
[03:45.711]
[04:31.530]Harry woke up with a cough; the stitches made him wince
[04:42.371]A doctor smiled at him from somewhere across the room
[04:51.801]Son, we saved your life, but you'll never look the same
[05:02.485]And when he heard that, Harry had to laugh
[05:14.318]Although it hurt, Harry had to laugh
[05:18.158]The final disappointment
