Mirrors Edge

## [Intro - Distorted mirror cracking, whispered counting]

*One... two... three faces staring back*

*Which one's real? Which one's the trap?*

*The glass is bleeding... or am I?*

## Verse 1

3 AM again, but this time I'm not crying

Something else behind my eyes, something that's not dying

Used to hate myself, now I love what I've become

The pain you gave me birthed a monster, and we're having fun

Every scar you left became a doorway to the dark

Now I'm mapping out your fears like a question mark

You thought you broke me down to nothing, left me hollow

But empty vessels make the best echoes to follow

## Pre-Chorus

The mirror shows three faces now

*(who's in control?)*

The boy you crushed, the man who survived

And the thing that feeds on souls

*(it's so hungry)*

## Chorus

Welcome to the mirror's edge, where broken glass reflects the truth

See the monster that you made from the remnants of my youth

I've let the old me go *(oh no)*

But something darker took his place

When you look into my eyes now

You'll see your dying face

## Verse 2

Remember when you said I'd never be enough?

*(I remember everything)*

Now I collect those words like trophies, display them when it's rough

The whispers in my head ain't doubt no more, they're plans

Building sanctuaries out of suffering with these bloody hands

That inner child you killed? He's not gone, just transformed

Into something that remembers every way you kept him scorned

Twenty years of pain fermented into vintage hate

Now I'm serving it back to you, won't you celebrate?

## Bridge

Don't blame me for what I've become

You planted every seed of what I'd grow into

The boy who begged for love is gone

But the thing that learned to hunt... that's new

(and it knows you)

Every weakness, every fear

Every way to make you disappear

Into the same abyss you pushed me through

## Verse 3

Silk sheets stained with more than tears now

(what have I done?)

Your memory haunts these walls, but I'm the ghost you fear now

Those gardens that we grew? One bloomed into a grave

The other spawned the reaper that no prayer can save

I still wake up reaching, but not for your embrace

For the rope that'll drag you down to take my rightful place

You drained me dry, left me empty, thought that was the end

But nature abhors a vacuum - guess who's moving in?

## Final Chorus

Welcome to the mirror's edge, where broken glass reflects the truth

See the monster that you made from the remnants of my youth

I've let the old me go (he's gone)

And something darker took his place

When you look into my eyes now

You'll see your dying face

(look closer)

You'll see your dying face

## Outro

This bed I've made... I'm not lying alone

There's room for two in this tomb I call home

If I died, would it kill you too?

Guess we're about to find out

What love can really do

Seven years bad luck

Or just the beginning?
