Yeah…
Every time I look in the mirror…
(All I see… all I see…)
*(soft whisper ad-libs: “dark… pain… fight…”)
Every time I look in the mirror, I see the pain inside of me
*(ad-libs: “ahhh…”) *
Bruises from their words, scars no one else can see
Wanna tear away this skin, let the rage escape
All this weight, all this struggle, it’s more than I can take
People push me down, call me nothing, call me weak
*(whispered growl: “they don’t see…”) *
Alone in the dark, abandoned, no hand to hold
Trapped in a life where warmth is gone, and the nights are cold
But somewhere deep inside, there’s a spark I can’t destroy
A voice whispers softly: you’re still more than their noise
*(ad-libs: “fight… fight…”) *
Every time I look in the mirror
I see the pain that hides inside
All the rage, all the sorrow, all the nights I’ve cried
(scream subtle: “ahhh!”)
The person in the mirror wants to break free, take the fight
Tear down the ones who left me here, trapped in the night
And I know some people feel the same as I do
Fighting through the darkness to find what’s true
Every time I look in the mirror
I see the fire, I see the fight
*(ad-libs: “yeahhh… fire… rise… fight…”) *
Bullied, harassed, left alone to face the world
Parents turned away, dreams shattered and twirled
No job, no money, no one to understand
Every step forward feels like sinking in sand
The person in the mirror, he’s clawing to break loose
(scream ad-lib: “ahhh! let me out!”)
Wants to scream at the world that’s kept me from my truth
But I won’t let him control me, won’t let him reign
I’ll rise from the shadows, endure all this pain
This misery’s a cage, but I’m tearing the bars
I’m rising from ashes, reaching for the stars
*(ad-libs: “higher… higher…”) *
Every time I look in the mirror
I see the pain that hides inside
All the rage, all the sorrow, all the nights I’ve cried
The person in the mirror wants to break free, take the fight
Tear down the ones who left me here, trapped in the night
And I know some people feel the same as I do
Fighting through the darkness to find what’s true
Every time I look in the mirror
I see the fire, I see the fight
*(ad-libs: “fight… rise… yeahhh… fire…”) *
I’m not the monster they painted me to be
But the mirror knows the chaos they’ve fed to me
I’ve been left, abused, abandoned, betrayed
(scream: “NOOO!”)
Yet from the shadows, I’ll rise unafraid
Even when there’s nothing, even when hope is gone
I’ll find the strength to keep moving on
*(guitar solo / atmospheric lift with ad-libs: “ahhh… fight… fire… rise…”) *
Every time I look in the mirror
I see the pain that hides inside
All the rage, all the sorrow, all the nights I’ve cried
The person in the mirror wants to break free, take the fight
Tear down the ones who left me here, trapped in the night
And I know some people feel the same as I do
We’re stronger when we face the darkness that we knew
Every time I look in the mirror
I see the fire, I see the fight
