Intro (whispered, deceptive, airy)
(Instrumental: soft chiming, reversed glass echoes, light wind sounds.)
(sweet, sly)
Oh, she thinks she’s stronger, dirt beneath her feet,
But watch me spin silver, make the shadows sweet.
I’ll smile through poison, a laugh wrapped in silk,
She thinks she rules rivers; I rule hearts like milk.

Verse 1 (soft, sly, creeping)
(Instrumental: plucked harp notes, light synth swirls, ticking percussion.)
(mocking sweetness)
Pocahontas, with roots tangled in mud,
I’ve seen your rivers, your forests, your blood.
You call me fragile, a porcelain lie,
But the fairest can bite while the wild girls cry.
---
Pre-Chorus (sly, seductive, tense)
(Instrumental: shimmering chimes, heartbeat under low bass, reversed whispers.)
(soft, taunting)
Roots and rivers, storms you chase,
But I twist smiles in every place.
You flaunt your strength, your reckless fire,
I hide my thorns and spark desire.
---
Chorus (bright, eerie, confident)
(Instrumental: distorted bass, swirling synths, playful percussion.)
I’m mirror and thorn, sugar and sting,
Every word I speak makes the shadows sing.
She may command rivers, bend earth and rain,
But I whisper soft poison, slip under the chain.
I’m mirror and thorn, watch me ascend,
Even the wildest storm bends at the end.
---
Verse 2 (mocking, sly, layered vocals)
(Instrumental: reversed harp, glassy synth stabs, echoing percussion.)
(sweet but sharp)
You think the forest crowns you queen of all,
But every leaf and brook knows my call.
Your rivers may roar, your winds may scream,
But I dance in reflections, rule every dream.
---
Pre-Chorus (increasing sly tension)
(Instrumental: deeper bass pulse, tremolo strings, whisper layers.)
(breathily mocking)
Roots and rivers, storms you chase,
But I twist smiles in every place.
You flaunt your strength, your reckless fire,
I hide my thorns and spark desire.
---
Chorus (bigger, layered, sly)
I’m mirror and thorn, sugar and sting,
Every word I speak makes the shadows sing.
She may command rivers, bend earth and rain,
But I whisper soft poison, slip under the chain.
I’m mirror and thorn, watch me ascend,
Even the wildest storm bends at the end.
---
Bridge (whisper-to-belt, eerie, manipulative)
(Instrumental: beat fades, glass echoes, soft wind, reversed vocals.)
(soft whisper rising)
Watch me smile while the forest trembles,
Watch me weave silk through the tempest’s fables.
I’m gentle, I’m fair, I’m all that she lacks,
And in my quiet, I strike back.
---
Final Chorus (bright, dramatic, sly climax)
I’m mirror and thorn, sugar and sting,
Every move I make makes the shadows sing.
She may bend rivers, chase storms, take flight,
But I rule in silence, hidden in plain sight.
I’m mirror and thorn, never undone,
Even wild Pocahontas bows to no one.
