Intro – Spoken, dark ambience]
I built you…
To survive.
But now you’re the reason I’m dying inside.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Rap (Dark and rhythmic)]
Staring in the glass like it’s someone else’s face,
A copy of a ghost that I tried to replace.
Smile’s fake, voice changed, heart locked in a cage—
I don’t even recognize this rage.
They loved the mask, so I wore it tight,
But every lie cost me another night.
Now I talk to the wall, like I’m not even there,
Split in two, breathing different air.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Clean (melodic and tense)]
What do you see when the lights go out?
Just a shadow screaming loud…
I don’t know who I am anymore—
But I know what I’m fighting for.
⸻
[Chorus – Screamed with clean backing vocals]
🔥 Mirror, mirror, why do you lie?!
You wear the face of someone I’d deny!
Built you up just to feel alive—
Now I’m breaking you to survive!
Who’s the real me behind these scars?
This is war—
Mirror Wars.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Rap/Screamed hybrid]
I painted over every crack in my skin,
Thought pretending strong was how you win.
But the silence is loud and it cuts like steel,
Can’t fake what I don’t feel.
They wanted pretty, I gave ‘em pain,
Now they run when I bleed in the rain.
You were my armor, but now you’re a cage,
So I’m burning down this stage.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Clean]
I swore I’d be more than the lies I told,
But I’m tired and my blood runs cold.
Can I find myself in the wreckage left—
If I put this ghost to rest?
⸻
[Chorus – Screamed + Harmonies]
🔥 Mirror, mirror, why do you lie?!
You wear the face of someone I’d deny!
Built you up just to feel alive—
Now I’m breaking you to survive!
Who’s the real me behind these scars?
This is war—
Mirror Wars.
⸻
[Bridge – Spoken Word over piano + ambient]
You were my shelter when the world turned dark…
But you became the storm.
Now every breath I take in your name
Feels like I’m drowning in mine.
You’re not saving me anymore.
⸻
[Breakdown – Heavy scream + distorted guitar]
⚡ Rip the mask from my skin!
Let the war begin!
If I burn in this fight,
At least I die real tonight!
⸻
[Final Chorus – Clean lead, screamed backing]
🎤 Mirror, mirror, I see you now—
But I won’t bow.
Tear you down, face the fall,
If I lose you, I find it all.
I won’t wear this crown of scars…
This is war—Mirror Wars.
⸻
[Outro – Soft, cinematic strings]
If I break you down, do I break with you?
Or do I finally break through…
