[Intro – Whispered / Distorted, echoing heartbeat]
Look in the mirror…
the monster’s not hiding.
It’s me.
It’s always been me.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Rap / Spoken-Shout]
I see her eyes when I look in the glass,
the rage, the pain, the shadow of the past.
Learned early how to fight and hide,
now I see the monster I kept inside.
Hands shake, fists curl, I flinch at my name,
love was a fire and anger my flame.
I swore I’d be different, I swore I’d survive,
but the reflection tells me I’m still alive… in its eyes.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Clean / Haunting]
I don’t want this face…
I don’t want this mind…
but the mirror whispers,
you’re the same kind.
⸻
[Chorus – Screamed + Clean Overlay]
Mirror monster, staring back at me!
I see the bloodline in everything I breathe!
I try to fight it, I try to run —
but I’m becoming the thing I fear most of all!
Mirror monster…
I can’t escape your call!
⸻
[Verse 2 – Rap / Aggressive]
Learned every scream, every shadow, every scar,
thought I left it behind, but it followed this far.
Every reflection is a warning sign,
the child I lost is still mine.
I catch myself yelling at nothing at all,
I hear her voice, I see her fall.
I try to break it, I try to bend,
but the monster in me won’t pretend.
⸻
[Bridge – Slow, melodic / haunting piano + soft screaming]
I touch the glass, it touches me,
the line between us fades and bleeds.
I hate the mirror, I hate the lie,
but I can’t look away, and I don’t know why.
⸻
[Breakdown – Screamed, chaotic]
(REFLECTION!)
You’re me! I’m you! We’re all the same!
Blood and rage, inherited pain!
The monster stares, the monster waits —
inside the mirror, it decides my fate!
⸻
[Chorus – Final / Full Power]
Mirror monster, staring back at me!
I see the bloodline in everything I breathe!
I try to fight it, I try to run —
but I’m becoming the thing I fear most of all!
Mirror monster…
I can’t escape your call!
⸻
[Outro – Whispered / distorted reflection of screaming]
Look in the mirror…
the monster’s always been here…
and it’s me.
