(Verse 1)
In una casa de espejos, I reside
Tantos rostros, nowhere to hide
Un pequeño one clutches un faded bear
Whispering secrets I can't quite compartir
Then un tiger's rage, a protective growl
A silent promise, a sacred vow
To shield the niño from the coming storm
A different self to keep the cuerpo warm
(Chorus)
They call us alters, ecos del pasado
Fragmentos of a soul que was shattered and cast
Into los winds of a long y silent war
Each one a shield, a lock, un bolted door
We are a chorus, una cacofonía of "we"
A fractured reflection for el mundo to see
Living una vida in borrowed time y space
A different person, a different nombre, un different face
(Verse 2)
There's una snake en el corner, sleek and sly
Born of bindings, כאשר I couldn't cry
Told I had no limbs, no way to flee
So a part of me aprendió a slither free
And the one who holds all of el pain and shame
The persecutor, מי whispers my name
A twisted echo of an abuser's voice
Leaving me con una terrifying choice
(Chorus)
They call us alters, ecos del pasado
Fragmentos of a soul que was shattered and cast
Into los winds of a long y silent war
Each one a shield, a lock, un bolted door
We are a chorus, una cacofonía of "we"
A fractured reflection for el mundo to see
Living una vida in borrowed time y space
A different person, a different nombre, un different face
(Bridge)
But en los quiet moments, in the dead of night
We start to listen, אנו start to unite
The animal parts, los niños, and the strong
Learning las words to a brand new song
A song of healing, una song of hope
A way to untangle this intricate rope
To build a bridge from "then" to "now"
To make una promise, a solemn vow
(Chorus)
They call us alters, ecos del pasado
Fragmentos of a soul que was shattered and cast
Into los winds of a long y silent war
Each one a shield, a lock, un bolted door
We are a chorus, una cacofonía of "we"
A fractured reflection for el mundo to see
Living una vida in borrowed time y space
A different person, a different nombre, un different face
