Verse 1 Stare into the glass and the face staring back begins to melt at the edges where skin meets reflection, eyes that aren’t quite yours anymore blink a fraction too slow, every wrinkle a map of choices you never made but feel in your bones anyway, the mouth moves before your thoughts arrive whispering secrets you buried under years of noise, what if the mirror is the real one and you're the echo fading in and out, every breath fogs the surface just enough to blur the line between who you think you are and who you've always been pretending not to be, layers peel away like onion skins but there's no core just more mirrors nested inside mirrors folding time into origami shapes that cut when you try to unfold them. Chorus (slow hypnotic chant – repeat the rhythm like a mantra, let words overlap in your mind) Mirror mirror endless mirror Falling deeper deeper deeper Who am I who am I who Reflection cracks reflection laughs Mirror mirror endless mirror Deeper deeper deeper still Who am I who am I who Falling falling never landing Mirror mirror endless mirror Deeper deeper deeper deeper... Verse 2 The room behind you stretches into corridors that weren't there yesterday, doors opening onto versions of yourself arguing in low voices about paths not taken, one you laughs too loud one you cries without sound one you just watches with empty eyes, every step forward pulls the floor like taffy stretching memories into thin threads that snap and reform into new lies you tell yourself to sleep at night, colors bleed from the walls dripping like wet paint into puddles where your feet dissolve into ripples spreading outward touching strangers who feel the shiver but don't know why, time loops in lazy circles around your head like smoke from a forgotten cigarette burning holes in yesterday's plans. Chorus (louder, more layered – voices multiplying) Mirror mirror endless mirror Falling deeper deeper deeper Who am I who am I who Reflection cracks reflection laughs Mirror mirror endless mirror Deeper deeper deeper still Who am I who am I who Falling falling never landing Mirror mirror endless mirror Deeper deeper deeper deeper... Verse 3 Fingers trace the glass and it ripples like water skin cold and alive under your touch, the other hand reaches back through the surface grasping for something solid but finding only more fingers grasping back in perfect sync, are you pulling them in or are they pulling you out into the silver void where gravity forgets its name and thoughts float like jellyfish trailing electric regrets, every question you ask echoes back twisted into answers that make less sense than silence ever did, the face in the mirror smiles when you frown cries when you laugh dances when you stand still mocking the illusion of control you cling to like a child to a blanket in the dark. Chorus (huge swirling build – chant faster then slow again) Mirror mirror endless mirror Falling deeper deeper deeper Who am I who am I who Reflection cracks reflection laughs Mirror mirror endless mirror Deeper deeper deeper still Who am I who am I who Falling falling never landing Mirror mirror endless mirror Deeper deeper deeper deeper... Bridge (half-speed, whispered then rising echo) Dissolve dissolve let it all dissolve No center no edge no you no me Just the endless mirror staring staring staring Into itself into nothing into everything Dissolve dissolve let it all dissolve Falling forever in the silver sea Who was I who will I be Only the mirror knows only the mirror sees... Chorus (massive final layers – almost overlapping chaos then strip back) Mirror mirror endless mirror Falling deeper deeper deeper Who am I who am I who Reflection cracks reflection laughs Mirror mirror endless mirror Deeper deeper deeper still Who am I who am I who Falling falling never landing Mirror mirror endless mirror Deeper deeper deeper deeper... Final Chorus (slow hypnotic fade – draw each word out long) Mirror... mirror... endless... mirror... Falling... deeper... deeper... deeper... Who... am... I... who... am... I... who... Reflection... cracks... reflection... laughs... Mirror... mirror... endless... mirror... Deeper... deeper... deeper... still... Who... am... I... who... am... I... who... Falling... falling... never... landing... Mirror... mirror... endless... mirror... Deeper... deeper... deeper... deeper... [SFX: hum pulses slower... slower... then total silence for 10 seconds. Final faint whisper: "deeper..."] Outro (barely audible over fading echo) Still falling... Still mirroring... Still asking... Who... who... who...
