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 |
