[Intro – Whispered / Reverb-heavy Clean Guitar]
“I see myself in the glass of pain,
Where time carves truth, and blood leaves stains.”
(Clean guitar arpeggio in C minor — faint reverse delay effect)
⸻
[Verse 1 – Triplet groove, palm-muted chugs]
(Triplet rhythm: 0–0–0 / 3–3–3 / 1–1–1 / 3–3–3)
Shattered thoughts behind my eyes,
A haunted face, I can’t disguise.
Reflections crawl beneath my skin,
The cracks reveal what’s locked within.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Builds with tension, clean + screamed layers]
Every mark, every burn,
Is a story I had to learn.
I bleed, I fade, I hide —
But the mirror won’t lie.
⸻
[Chorus – Clean vocals with screamed harmonies]
🔥 I see my truth through a mirror of scars,
The pain reflects who we really are!
No mask, no shame, no place to run —
The wounds I bear are what I’ve become!
(Triplet chug under chorus, guitars ring open on every 4th beat)
⸻
[Verse 2 – Faster and angrier tone]
The glass has teeth, it cuts so deep,
My demons wake from where they sleep.
Each fracture screams a memory’s name,
But through the hurt, I rise from flame.
⸻
[Bridge – Half-time groove / Spoken and screamed mix]
(Slow, crushing drop C chugs — each ring for half a measure)
“I wear my past upon my flesh…”
“Every scar — a testament…”
“I am not broken… I am the evidence!”
(Snare rolls lead into solo)
⸻
[Solo – Emotional lead, soaring tone]

⸻
[Final Chorus – Clean + Harsh blend, wide open chords]
🔥 I see my truth through a mirror of scars!
These wounds are proof of the battles I’ve carved!
No mask, no fear, no false alarms —
I live through pain — reborn in harm!
⸻
[Outro – Clean guitars fade, whispered line]
(Soft picking on C minor arpeggio)
“The mirror still stares…
but I’m not afraid anymore.”
(Reverb and feedback fade out)
