(Verse 1)
The window pane, a clouded sheet
A mirror to my own defeat
I'm looking out, but all I see
Is a stranger looking back at me
He's wearing my face, he's got my eyes
But there's a different truth in his disguise
A colder glint, a tired line
A life that's his, and no longer mine
(Chorus)
'Cause the reflection's got a story to tell
About a hero that fell from hell
He's got the scars, he's got the strain
He's been washed clean by the acid rain
He's not me, but he is my ghost
The person I was when I loved you the most
And in the glass, a final plea
"Please tell me, what happened to me?"
(Verse 2)
I turn away, but he won't leave
He's in the shadows, he's in my sleeve
He's on the water when the light is low
He's a face I can't outrun or outgrow
He's in the silver of a rusted knife
The final page of a broken life
A constant echo, a silent plea
A perfect picture of a memory
(Chorus)
'Cause the reflection's got a story to tell
About a hero that fell from hell
He's got the scars, he's got the strain
He's been washed clean by the acid rain
He's not me, but he is my ghost
The person I was when I loved you the most
And in the glass, a final plea
"Please tell me, what happened to me?"
(Bridge)
He's reaching out with a gentle hand
To a hero he can't understand
He's trying to find the man inside
Before the darkness had to hide
The good intentions, the whispered hope
The final push on a slippery slope
He's just a warning in the glass
A reminder that nothing ever lasts
(Guitar Solo)
(A haunting, reverb-heavy solo that starts with a single, clear note and slowly adds layers of distortion and feedback. It sounds like a desperate conversation between two people, building in intensity before a single, sustained, mournful note.)
(Outro)
My reflection...
My reflection...
It's just a whisper...
A final question...
"Please tell me, what happened to me?"
(The song ends with the sound of a final, ringing chord and a low, distant hum.)
