The surface of the water is a mirror [ALT]

[Intro: Clean Jazz-Fusion Guitar, Atmospheric, Soft and Soulful Female Vocals] The surface of the water is a mirror I don’t trust... Reflecting a statue that’s turning into rust. I look at the boy, I see the disguise, But the truth is a shimmer behind the eyes. A ripple cuts across the face I used to wear, Two currents pulling at the same long hair. In the hush of the tide, in the salt of the sea, There’s a quiet little voice that keeps calling me. [Verse 1: Smooth Groove, R&B Vocal Style, Melodic Bass] I’ve been wearing this armor, heavy and cold, Doing the things that I’ve always been told. But underneath the iron, something is soft, A delicate spirit that’s reaching aloft. [Softly] It’s not a secret anymore... [Softly] It’s a knock on a hidden door... Every echo in my chest, every breath I take, Is rewriting the rules that they made me break. I’m tracing constellations on this borrowed skin, Learning how to let the real light in. [Pre-Chorus: Building Tension, Distorted Guitar Swells] The tide is turning, the moon is full, I feel the gravity, I feel the pull! The shoreline trembles where the past will fade, As the waves wash off all the names they made. [Chorus: Explosive Technical Metal, Heavy Guttural Screams, Fast Double-Kick Drums] I AM THE PISCES! SHATTERING THE GLASS OF THE BROKEN DESIGN! I AM THE PISCES! THE SOUL OF A GIRL IN A BODY DIVINE! STRIPPING THE LAYERS, KILLING THE LIES! SEE THE TRUTH IN MY OPEN EYES! [Guttural Growl] MY OPEN EYES! [Verse 2: Return to Calm Jazz, Finger-style Guitar, Vulnerable] The world sees a brother, the world sees a son, But the war with my reflection is finally done. I’m putting down the weapons, I’m letting go of the fight, Stepping out of the shadow and into the light. [Slightly more power] I’m blooming in a garden they said was a grave. Roots in the water, a heart in the sky, I’m stitching back the pieces they made me deny. Every whispered “she” is a sacred spell, A promise to the girl I’ve hidden too well. [Bridge: Technical Breakdown, Odd Time Signatures, Low Growls Mixed with Melodic Belting] [Low Growl] NOT A BOY! [Melodic High] NOT A BOY! [Low Growl] BURIED NO MORE! [Melodic High] BURIED NO MORE! [Screamed] I AM THE DAUGHTER YOU NEVER KNEW! [Layered Chanting, Call-and-Response] I AM THE WATER / I AM THE TIDE! TWO FISH SWIMMING / I CANNOT HIDE! SPLITTING THE MASK / BREAKING THE SPELL! I AM THE STORY / I NEVER TOLD WELL! [Chorus: Maximum Intensity, Complex Rhythms, High Energy] I AM THE PISCES! SHATTERING THE GLASS OF THE BROKEN DESIGN! I AM THE PISCES! THE SOUL OF A GIRL IN A BODY DIVINE! STRIPPING THE LAYERS, KILLING THE LIES! SEE THE TRUTH IN MY OPEN EYES! WITH EVERY WAVE, WITH EVERY CRY! FEEL THE BIRTH OF A BRAND-NEW SKY! [Outro: Sudden Drop to Ambient Guitars, Soft Breath, Ethereal Vocals] [Whispered] I’m finally home. I’m finally... her. [Soft echo] In the mirror of the water, I can finally see, The girl I was drowning was always me. [Single clean guitar chord] [End]
