Broken Mirrors

**“Rules of the Game” (Duet Version)**

**Verse 1 – Alice**
I woke up with the world in my hands,
Glass-lit dreams and borrowed plans.
They told me who I had to be,
But none of it sounds like me.

**Verse 1 – Queen**
We gave you order, lanes to choose,
A simple script, you couldn’t lose.
Fall in line, you’ll be just fine,
Every clock obeys my time.

**Pre-Chorus – Alice**
Your rules keep changing mid-breath,
Promise safety, whisper death.

**Pre-Chorus – Queen**
Confusion keeps the pieces neat,
Doubt makes pawns refuse their feet.

**Chorus – Both (counterpoint)**
**Alice:**
Down the rabbit hole, I see it clear,
Your crown is built on borrowed fear.

**Queen:**
Rules are law, rules are fate,
Bow your head, accept your place.

**Alice:**
I won’t trade my soul for your parade.

**Queen:**
Then you don’t belong in the game.

**Verse 2 – Alice**
Tea tastes bitter when truth’s denied,
Smiles stitched tight, rot inside.
I count my worth in clicks and views,
Tell me, Queen, who’s winning who?

**Verse 2 – Queen**
Metrics matter, numbers don’t lie,
Higher scores mean you survive.
Be desirable, be consumed,
You asked for this, don’t play confused.

**Pre-Chorus – Alice**
You call this order, I call it a cage.

**Pre-Chorus – Queen**
Freedom is chaos dressed as rage.

**Chorus – Both**
**Queen:**
Off with doubt, off with dreams,
Cut away the in-between.

**Alice:**
I’m not broken, I’m not wrong,
I’ve been small, I’ve been strong.

**Queen:**
Rules are sacred, rules are clean.

**Alice:**
Not when they erase the human being.

**Bridge – Alice**
If I shrink, I disappear.
If I grow, you call it fear.
If madness is seeing the lie,
Then let me be mad, let me try.

**Bridge **
Try, and fall.
Question, lose.
Every rebel pays their dues.

**Break – Alice **
Who made you Queen?
Who crowned the clock?
Who decided my voice should stop?

**Final Chorus**
**Queen:**
Kneel, comply, accept the frame.

**Alice:**
No throne decides my name.

**Queen:**
Play your part, don’t rearrange.

**Alice:**
I was never yours to claim.

**Queen**
Rules of the game…

**Alice**
I change the game.

**Outro – Alice**
The board still stands, the clock still ticks,
But I step past your loaded tricks.
Wonderland cracks, a new truth came,
I don’t escape.
I *rewrite* the game.
