Don't Touch the Mirror

[Verse 1] Neon in my veins, cold gloss on my mouth I learned how to smile like a lock on a house You love the reflection, you wave from outside But you don’t see the fingerprints I keep trying to hide Flashbulbs on the glass, I can’t look away Every headline paints me in a prettier shade If I stare too long, I start to come apart Like a crack is just a door to a darker kind of heart [Pre-Chorus] Say you want the truth— Then why do you flinch? You want me perfect, Not real, not rich [Chorus] Don’t touch the mirror Don’t make it move If the surface shatters What will you do? Don’t touch the mirror Don’t call my name ‘Cause if I answer honestly Nothing stays the same I’m not your picture I’m not your proof Don’t touch the mirror Unless you want the truth [Verse 2] I can play the part, I can hit my mark I can turn my fear into glitter in the dark You say, “You’re fearless,” like it’s something you own But bravery’s just makeup when you’re living as a clone There’s a person underneath all this perfect light Holding their breath in a borrowed life If you pull the thread, if you peel the paint You might find a face you can’t explain [Pre-Chorus] You want the story Without the cost You want the shine But not what it took, not what I lost [Chorus] Don’t touch the mirror Don’t make it move If the surface shatters What will you do? Don’t touch the mirror Don’t call my name ‘Cause if I answer honestly Nothing stays the same I’m not your picture I’m not your proof Don’t touch the mirror Unless you want the truth [Bridge] I hear you say, “Show me” But you don’t mean me You mean the version you can keep The one that doesn’t bleed If I step out of the frame If I let the lighting fall Would you still clap for the silence? Would you love me at all? I’m so tired of the glass Tired of the borrowed skin Tired of being someone else Just to let you let me in [Final Chorus] Don’t touch the mirror Don’t make it move If the surface shatters What will you do? Don’t touch the mirror Don’t say my name ‘Cause if I answer honestly Nothing stays the same I’m not your picture I’m not your proof Don’t touch the mirror Unless you want the truth [Outro] Don’t touch… Don’t touch the mirror… (Unless you want the truth)
