[Verse 1]
He wore a white coat grin
And a mirror for a face
Built from bruised-up pride
And a hunger out of place
Picked at every flaw
Like a scab he had to peel
Said "I can make it better"
With a hand that couldn't heal
Fed on his own shame
Then called it holy work
Stamped his name on damage
Like a crown above the dirt
[Pre-Chorus]
He don't make life
He makes his lack
He don't build a dream
He builds it back
All that poison
In a perfect frame
Every broken wish
Wears his name
[Chorus]
Mirror monster, mirror monster
He made it from the rot
Mirror monster, mirror monster
Wanting what he ought not
I am not your proof
I am not your prize
Mirror monster, mirror monster
He killed the light in my eyes (in my eyes)
[Verse 2]
He wanted softer skin
But kept a harder hand
Wanted every woman
Bent to fit his plan
Called control a cure
Called envy a design
Tried to carve a goddess
From a body not his kind
Natural perfection
Was a wound he couldn't stand
So he stitched up fantasies
With a trembling, filthy hand
Every "I deserve"
Turned to "I take"
Every empty throne
Was a face he had to break
[Pre-Chorus]
He don't make life
He makes his lack
He don't build a dream
He builds it back
All that poison
In a perfect frame
Every broken wish
Wears his name
[Chorus]
Mirror monster, mirror monster
He made it from the rot
Mirror monster, mirror monster
Wanting what he ought not
I am not your proof
I am not your prize
Mirror monster, mirror monster
He killed the light in my eyes (in my eyes)
[Bridge]
You can't out-run
What you feed inside
You can't sew up
A lie alive
He built a throne
From a pile of spite
Now it walks his halls
With his own dead light
[Final Chorus]
Mirror monster, mirror monster
He made it from the rot
Mirror monster, mirror monster
Wanting what he ought not
I am not your proof
I am not your prize
Mirror monster, mirror monster
He killed the light in my eyes (in my eyes)
Mirror monster, mirror monster
Hear that thing he raised (he raised)
Mirror monster, mirror monster
Now it knows his face
