(Verse 1)
The devil came to me
And needed no disguise
But like a frightened sheep
I couldn't look in his eyes
But he looked into mine
As I tried to glance a peek
At the mirror above my bathroom sink
My reflection wasn't mine that night
Something else stared back with burning light
Clawed hands gripped my shoulders tight
As whispers filled my head—couldn't fight
(Chorus)
Heart pumping, full of dread
Ears bled when he said
I've chosen you to start the plan
Picked you the cream of the crop
The messenger they cannot stop
The one who makes their empire drop
(Verse 2)
Cold sweat breaks across my skin
As shadows crawl along the wall
My tongue tastes copper, bitter sin
I hear their footsteps in the hall
The mirror cracks from edge to center
A spiderweb of fractured glass
Walking lines between heaven and hell-bent
As my soul begins to surpass
My fingers tremble on the basin
As something shifts behind my face
My bones feel hollow, spirit erasing
Trapped in this unholy place
(Chorus)
Heart pumping, full of dread
Ears bled when he said
I've chosen you to start the plan
Picked you the cream of the crop
The messenger they cannot stop
The one who makes their empire drop
(Bridge)
Teeth chattering against the chill
That burns beneath my paper skin
The bathroom light begins to fill
With shadows dancing, closing in
I grip the sink with whitened knuckles
My legs won't hold, too weak to stand
The mirror-thing smiles and chuckles
While pressing palm against my hand
(Chorus)
Heart pumping, full of dread
Ears bled when he said
I've chosen you to start the plan
Picked you the cream of the crop
The messenger they cannot stop
The one who makes their empire drop
