(Verse 1)
Woke up with a scream in the static haze
Another war inside, another wasted day
The mirror’s crackin’, but I still see my face
Buried in the smoke of my own disgrace
(Pre-Chorus)
I'm not your puppet, I'm not your saint
I'm just a shadow you tried to paint
(Chorus)
Burnin’ in the mirror of fire
Chained to a soul, climbing the wire
Rage in my blood, scream to the sky
I was born to break, not to comply
(Verse 2)
Footsteps echo in the halls of shame
Where dreams are hung and sold for fame
You preach your truth in plastic gold
But my heart ain’t buyin’ what it's told
(Pre-Chorus)
Don’t call it madness, don’t call it sin
I’m just the storm you locked within
(Chorus)
Burnin’ in the mirror of fire
Chained to a soul, climbing the wire
Rage in my blood, scream to the sky
I was born to break, not to comply
(Bridge – slow, haunting)
Take your mask and wear it proud
I'll bleed my voice, I’ll scream it loud
This pain is real, this hurt won’t lie
But it’s the reason I’m still alive
(Solo Guitar – wild, bending notes with emotion)
(Final Chorus – heavier, double vocals)
Burnin’ in the mirror of fire
Shadows and scars, my true empire
Rage in my blood, scream to the sky
I was born to burn… not say goodbye
(Outro – fading with distorted guitar riff)
I was born to burn…
Yeah, I was born to burn...
