[Intro – Rap Talk (sarcastic), synth ticking beat]
Tick-tock, another shot,
Mirror’s laughin’, guess I forgot —
I’m the clown and the circus freak,
Front-row seat to my losing streak!
[drum fill kicks in, heavy guitars start building]
[Verse 1 – Rap-Metal]
Woke up drunk with my shoes on the ceiling,
Texts from my past, yeah, they’re "catching feelings,"
Smoke alarms blarin’, but I’m chillin’,
If life’s a joke, guess I’m the villain.
Laughin' through therapy, dodge every question,
Patchwork soul — duct tape depression,
Swipe right on a disaster date,
Tell my conscience, "Bro, you’re two drinks late."
[Pre Chorus – Clean Vocals, synth and bass building]
Can't hide when the cracks are wide,
Fake smiles stitched to a landslide...
[Chorus – Massive, loud guitars crash in]
There’s a monster in my mirror, grinnin’ at me,
Sippin’ on chaos like morning coffee,
Yeah, I laugh, yeah, I scream,
But I’m shattering in between,
There’s a monster in my mirror…
and it looks just like me.
[small guitar riff bridge transition, synth whine]
[Verse 2 – Rap-Metal, faster flow]
Tried fixing my life with expired glue,
Signed a deal with regret — it came true,
My guardian angel’s probably drunk too,
High-fivin' demons like, "Dude, that's you!"
Netflix and self-loathing on replay,
Toast to mistakes I’ll make today,
I’ll ghost myself if that’s okay —
Self-sabotage? My favorite cliché.
[Pre Chorus – Tension builds]
Can't run when the chains are tight,
Smile wide while I lose this fight...
[Chorus – Even bigger]
There’s a monster in my mirror, grinnin’ at me,
Lighting up nightmares like it’s therapy,
Yeah, I laugh, yeah, I bleed,
But I’m stitched into this dream,
There’s a monster in my mirror…
and it’s wearing my skin.
[Bridge – Breakdown, screamed vocals + distorted synth]
Mirror, mirror — on the wall,
Who's the fakest of them all?!
TICK, TICK, BOOM — it’s me again!
Dyin' slow with a stupid grin!
[Final Chorus – Half-sung, Half-screamed, chaotic and epic]
There’s a monster in my mirror, gnashin’ teeth,
Wearing my sins like a trophy piece,
Yeah, I fight, yeah, I flee,
But the beast is glued to me,
There’s a monster in my mirror...
and he’ll never leave.
[Outro – Whispered, synth fades]
Tick-tock, tick-tock…
Guess I’ll see you tomorrow…
