The Mirror That Bled

[Verse 1 – harsh] There was a mirror in the hallway But it never showed my face Only versions carved by voices That I could not replace They etched me into silhouettes With knives of what I lacked Every glance another verdict Every flaw attacked I learned to hate reflections Before I knew my name Because the glass was always loyal To whoever cast the blame [Pre-Chorus – harsh building] If you stare long enough You’ll see what they designed Not who you are — But what they left behind. [Chorus – clean, strained] The mirror started bleeding When I looked it in the eye Cracks running like veins Across every lie If I am distortion Then I’m distortion refined I’d rather shatter clean Than live undefined [Verse 2 – harsh blast] The glass began to whisper “You’re the problem. You’re the weight.” But whispers turn to fractures When they resonate with hate So I pressed my fist against it Watched the red lines grow Every drop a memory I finally let go [Breakdown] Break. It. Break. It. Let the image die. [Bridge – clean rising] If I don’t fit the frame Then burn the fucking frame I’m done apologizing For surviving the flame [Final Chorus – massive] The mirror bled confession When I refused the role I am not your outline I am not your control Let the glass remember What it tried to confine You don’t survive distortion Without becoming divine
