Intro (broken music box, distant battlefield ambience) Ladies and gentlemen... Tonight’s performance Will end in blood. (soft unstable laugh) Verse 1 Sent me dancing into fire One lone fool against the wire Golden masks and neon teeth Battlefields beneath my feet Static dripping from the sky God, I thought that I might die So I laughed instead of screamed Made a circus from the scene One became a hundred more Mirrors flooding every floor Every copy split the light Every shadow joined the fight Pre-Chorus Don’t let them hear you panic Don’t let them see you shake Smile wider Smile brighter Even when you break Chorus Welcome to the Hall of Mirrors Watch the whole world multiply Shattered girls in shattered glass Still too angry left to die Round and round the lasers burn Dancing through the killing glow If I’m dying here tonight Then I’ll make damn sure they know HAHAHAHA— I WAS HERE. Verse 2 Sentients crawling through the smoke Every impact cracked a joke Lights exploding overhead Too much ringing in my head Bodies burning on the stage Turned my terror into rage Couldn’t stop the shaking hands So I learned to dance instead Every mirror screaming back: KEEP THEM OFF YOU DON’T LOOK BACK Bridge (music drops low, broken music box and distant alarms) I can hear them getting closer I can feel the fractures spread One reflection starts to tremble One reflection begs instead But the others laugh much louder Drowning out the fear inside If the curtain’s falling on me Then I’ll meet it grinning wide (glass cracking violently) Keep performing. DROP (mirror-shatter dubstep drop) BREAK BREAK BREAK THE MIRRORS Glass storms ripping through the dark Static tearing worlds apart Laughing while the ceiling caves Turning fear into a blade HEY LOOK AT ME NOW HAHAHAHAHAHA— Final Chorus Welcome to the Hall of Mirrors Where the dead still take a bow Every fractured little version Fighting just to survive now Round and round the shadows twist Thousands falling in the haze If they wanted me forgotten Why’d they leave behind the blaze? Outro (music box slowing down) Tick-tock Stage lights fade But somewhere in the shattered glass... She’s still laughing.
