(Intro – Clean Vocals, dark atmosphere)
I see a shadow in the glass, he’s wearing my face,
He’s screaming all my secrets, he won’t leave a trace,
I’ve been running from the past, but it’s picking up pace,
If I don’t kill the demon, he’s taking my place.
(Verse 1 – Rap-Metal Flow)
Heartbeat heavy like a war drum inside,
Mind full of static, I’m barely alive,
Smile for the camera, rot on the inside,
Everybody loves me, but I don’t know why.
Pills in my pocket, ghosts in my phone,
Friends turn to strangers, I’m stuck in my zone,
I talk to myself like I’m not alone,
Build me a throne out of sticks and stones.
(Pre-Chorus – Half-Clean / Half-Scream)
I tried to be holy, I tried to be fake,
Tried to be something you all could take,
I’m sick of the mask, sick of the shame,
If I don’t break the mirror, I’ll go insane.
(Chorus – Big Melodic Hook)
I’m the monster in the mirror, say my name, say my name,
I’m the sinner and the savior, I’m the blame and the flame,
I’ve been fighting with myself in the rain, in the rain,
If I don’t change my life, I’m the one to blame.
I’m the monster in the mirror, watch me fall, watch me rise,
I’m the angel and the devil in disguise,
I’ve been dancing with my demons every night, every night,
If I don’t kill the past, I’m not making it out alive.
(Verse 2 – Heavy Screams / Slaughter Style)
(LOW GUTTURAL)
Cut my wings, throw me in the pit,
Laugh while I’m bleeding, I’m loving this shit,
Every betrayal carved into my ribs,
You made me a savage, you fed me to wolves.
(HIGH SCREAM)
I was a victim, now I’m the crime,
I was a whisper, now I’m a sign,
You tried to bury me under your lies,
Now I’m the truth and I’m breaking the sky.
(Pre-Chorus – Clean Build)
I tried to be holy, I tried to be fake,
Tried to be something you all could take,
I’m sick of the mask, sick of the shame,
If I don’t break the mirror, I’ll go insane.
(Chorus – Melodic + Gang Shouts)
I’m the monster in the mirror, say my name, say my name,
(I AM THE MONSTER!)
I’m the sinner and the savior, I’m the blame and the flame,
(I AM THE FIRE!)
I’ve been fighting with myself in the rain, in the rain,
(IF I DON’T CHANGE!)
If I don’t change my life, I’m the one to blame.
I’m the monster in the mirror, watch me fall, watch me rise,
(I WON’T STAY BROKEN!)
I’m the angel and the devil in disguise,
(I’M STILL HOPING!)
I’ve been dancing with my demons every night, every night,
If I don’t kill the past, I’m not making it out alive.
(Bridge – Rap Breakdown)
Yeah, look—
I been running from pain like it’s cardio,
Heart full of scars like a Mario,
Jumping through levels of hell, it’s a scenario,
If I don’t fight back now, I’m a casualty, bro.
They want the old me back, that version is dead,
New me talk reckless, got venom instead,
Every bad thought put a gun to my head,
But I pull the trigger on fear, now it’s bleeding instead.
(Breakdown – Slam / Callouts)
BLEGH!
Break
