On February 19th, 2012 Mesquida posted a picture of a roasted bird on a platter with the caption "Shooting Marilyn Manson new music video :)".[3] On April 4th at 12:00PM EST, the video for the radio edit of the song was made available to view on the Marilyn Manson VEVO YouTube channel and on the band's website.
Reception
The song received a positive review from Loudwire.com who gave it a 4/5 star rating.

The song maintained strong popularity with the majority of fans voting favourably for the song and also adding dozens of positive comments. As of March 10th only 4.35% of fans voted unfavourably for the song.[5] Fans also received the song very well on YouTube.

The song received thousands of positive comments from the Marilyn Manson fan base, often stating that the single is Manson's best work for some time.[6]
Lyrics
Crushing, cheating, changing
Am I deaf or dead?
Is this constricting construction,
or just streets with rusty signs of something violent coming?
This will hurt you worse than me
I'm weak, seven days, I'm weak
Don't run from me, I won't bother counting
One, two, three
I don't know which me that I love
I've got no reflection
I don't know which me that I love
I've got no reflection
I can show myself how to make a noose
A gun's cliché and a razor too
I'm not a death-trip vacation vacant station
Made of scars and filled with my old wounds
This will hurt you worse than me
I'm weak, seven days, I'm weak
Don't run from me, I won't bother counting
One, two, three
I don't know which me that I love
I've got no reflection
I don't know which me that I love
I've got no reflection
You, you don't even want to know
What I'm gonna do to you
You don't even want to know
What I'm gonna do to you
You don't even want to know
What I'm gonna do to you
You don't even want to know
What I'm gonna do to you
You don't even want to know
What I'm gonna do to you
I don't know which me that I love
I've got no reflection
I don't know which me that I love
I've got no reflection
No reflection
No reflection
I've got no reflection
