[Intro – Melodic singing, soft echo FX] Who is that… lookin’ back at me? A reflection cracked — I barely see… Eyes like mine, but soulless cold… Was I ever me… or just the mold? [Verse 1 – Methodical Rap, poetic, low] Faded in the silence, drifting through haze Mind plays tricks in a thousand ways Mirror talks back, but the voice ain’t mine Lines on my face don’t match the time Footsteps echo like memories scream Woke up inside someone else’s dream Questions stack with no relief I’m drowning in my own disbelief [Pre-Chorus – Melodic, emotional vocal] Tell me… is this who I’ve become? A shadow of fire, now numb… I reach through the glass, beg it to show The me that I lost so long ago... [Chorus – Slow melodic w/ scream blend] Mirror don’t lie — but I don’t belong Every part of me feels so wrong (SCREAMED BACKING): WHO AM I?! I’m breaking apart in pieces I hide I scream inside, but no one's on my side (SCREAMED): I JUST WANNA FEEL ALIVE! [Verse 2 – Light rap, over ambient tension] I whisper my name — it sounds unreal Like a story I read, but never feel Tried to fix me, but broke me worse Now I’m prayin’ through every curse Guilt in my bones, fear in my breath Tired of dancing so close to death It’s me vs. me — and I’m losing ground No one hears, but I still make sound [Bridge – Fully melodic, haunting vocals] Take me back before the pain… Before I carved myself in shame… Before I looked and saw a lie… Before I whispered goodbye inside... (SCREAMED FADE IN): I’M STILL HERE — EVEN IF I’M BROKEN! [Final Chorus – Melodic lead with intense scream harmony] Mirror don’t lie — but it’s not the truth It’s a mask I’ve worn since my youth (SCREAMED): I’M STILL FIGHTING ME! The silence inside grows loud tonight But I’ll keep searching for the light (SCREAMED): I WON’T LET GO — EVEN IF IT HURTS! [Outro – Soft singing, distant echo FX] Maybe one day I’ll see me again… Maybe the cracks will let light in... But for now… I’ll keep breathing through the pain. (Whispered): Still here. Still mine.
