[Verse 1]
Face to face with the black glass
Every crack knows my name
Old sins swimming in the surface
Drawn in like a flame to the frame
My ghost in the reflection
Eyes red from all the years
Handprints in the cooled stone
Finger-tracing every fear
[Chorus]
Obsidian mirror
Show me every ugly truth I hid
Cut me a little clearer
Bleed out the boy
Leave room for what I’ll be instead
If I shatter who I was right here
Can I sharpen who I am in you
Obsidian mirror
Make my scars into something new
[Verse 2]
See the nights I chose the silence
When I should have screamed “I’m wrong”
Hear the vows I broke in whispers
Playing brave
Pretending strong
On your skin
The failed beginnings
Every bridge I set alight
But behind the smoke and ruin
I see a road that touches light
[Chorus]
Obsidian mirror
Show me every ugly truth I hid
Cut me a little clearer
Bleed out the boy
Leave room for what I’ll be instead
If I shatter who I was right here
Can I sharpen who I am in you
Obsidian mirror
Make my scars into something new
[Bridge]
[Music drops to low piano and vocal]
I’ve been the blade
I’ve been the wound (oh)
I’ve been the lock around my own throat
But if I stare ’til the shadows move
Maybe I learn to let me go
Break me into pieces
Lay them in a careful row
I’ll choose the ones worth keeping
And leave the rest below
[Chorus]
Obsidian mirror
Show me every ugly truth I hid
Cut me a little clearer
Bleed out the boy
Leave room for what I’ll be instead
If I shatter who I was right here
Will you hold until I’m breaking through
Obsidian mirror
Make my scars into something new
[Outro]
[Band drops
Vocal over distant guitar]
Face to face with the black glass
This time I do not look away
Past behind me in the fragments
Future carved from what remains today
