07 Shattered Mirror

[Intro - Low strings and cello, building tension, hinting at confinement] [Verse 1] My face is pale in the distorted mirror Memories of that day fall like cold raindrops Your touch is like a piece of ice Your whispering voice tears my heart apart I'm trapped in your grasp Your suffocating love You take everything from me [Verse 2] The sweet beginning The thorny reality Where are you in my memories? My voice grows smaller I feel myself disappearing Memories of laughter, blurry afterimages Your warm embrace, now a cold wind Fragments of a love I thought would last forever Pieces of pain overwhelm me [Pre-Chorus - Building intensity, focusing on the breaking point] Thorny memories tighten my breath My fading breath, like a final flame But a small ember still flickers within me That ember is a light of hope, piercing through the shadow of your jealousy Faded promises, I must forget them now [Chorus - Emotional climax, reflecting the shattered self] You and I fading away, like a final moment The shattered mirror reflects my image Desperate cries, unending sorrow… The crumbling castle, but I will not crumble I want to escape this prison Give me the freedom to breathe [Bridge - Instrumental break, cello solo expressing the depth of despair and the struggle for release] [Verse 3 - A shift towards resolve] No more I will forge my own destiny [Chorus - More powerful and resolute, showing a newfound strength] I will tear down this castle I will weave a new thread [Verse 1] My face is pale in the distorted mirror Memories of that day fall like cold raindrops Your touch is like a piece of ice Your whispering voice tears my heart apart I'm trapped in your grasp Your suffocating love You take everything from me [Verse 2] The sweet beginning The thorny reality Where are you in my memories? My voice grows smaller I feel myself disappearing Memories of laughter, blurry afterimages Your warm embrace, now a cold wind Fragments of a love I thought would last forever Pieces of pain overwhelm me [Pre-Chorus - Building intensity, focusing on the breaking point] Thorny memories tighten my breath My fading breath, like a final flame But a small ember still flickers within me That ember is a light of hope, piercing through the shadow of your jealousy Faded promises, I must forget them now [Outro - Strings and horns fade out slowly, but with a sense of hope and new beginnings]
