[Intro – Whispered & building]
I see him staring back…
Same face, wrong soul.
Every night, he takes control.
[Verse 1 – Rap flow, cold tone]
Lace up my face like a mask at dawn
Put on the charm, play the pawn
Nobody knows what’s really wrong
I’m Dr. Jekyll ‘til the lights are gone
Living lies in tailored suits
Smile’s fake and truth’s in ruins
Therapist says I’m just confused
But the other me sharpens the noose
[Pre Chorus – Clean vocals, emotional pull]
I scream but no one hears
I'm the echo of my fears
This monster lives inside
And I don't know who'll survive
[Chorus – Screamed then harmonized clean vocals]
Mirror monster—who am I today?
Hero by morning, villain by nightfall’s grace
Tear my mind like paper skin
Lose myself to him again
This dual life is breaking me
I’m the war I’ll never win!
[Verse 2 – Rap with growls underlining phrases]
People trust the smile I fake
But there’s blood behind each handshake
He’s got hunger I can’t sate
He whispers love then serves up hate
Crossed the line a thousand times
Still pretend I toe the line
He’s the voice that drowns my cries
He’s the truth behind the lies
[Pre Chorus – Sung with more desperation]
There’s silence in my scream
I’m trapped inside this dream
He wears me like a shell
I’m just a ghost beneath the spell
[Chorus – Bigger, layered vocals]
Mirror monster—who am I today?
Saint on Sunday, sinner when I pray
Crack my mask, let chaos win
Watch my soul unravel thin
I was someone—now just a shade
A split reflection in the blade
[Bridge – Screamed breakdown with tempo shift]
I don’t sleep—I just hide
From the beast that lives inside
Every heartbeat, every breath
Brings me closer to my death
I built this cage with my own hand
Now he rules—I just pretend
My sanity's a dying flame
And I forget my real name
[Final Chorus – Half-sung, half-screamed, emotional climax]
Mirror monster—are you proud of me?
Look what we’ve done, this twisted legacy
There’s no more lines, no truth, no lie
Just one of us will live—or die
And when the final mirror breaks…
Who do you see behind my face?
[Outro – Slow, fading whisper]
Who do you see…
Who do you see…
Not me.
