[Intro] (Glitchy IDM beats stuttering) (Distant distorted screams) [Verse 1] There’s a swelling in my chest, a quiet little spark A glass-like nodule pushing through the dark I looked into the scan and saw a face looking back Flawless, silver, everything I lack It has your smile, the version that you love The gentle shape of who I should be capable of I fed it my tomorrow, I let it drink my pride A shining mirror growing deep inside [Chorus] But the mirror tumor eats me alive! To keep you happy, I cannot survive! It drinks my marrow, it steals my breath This perfect reflection is a beautiful death! The more I nurture what you want to see The less there is of actual me! [Verse 2] (Phonk cowbells, fast grime flow) Splitting at the seams, yeah, my skin is getting tight The silver replica is pushing for the light My fingers turning glassy, my joints begin to lock It’s taking over every single cell upon the block You hold my hand, but it’s the tumor that you squeeze A polished metal statue brought down to its knees I’m fading to a shadow behind a looking glass Watching my own organic tissue turn to ash! [Chorus] But the mirror tumor eats me alive! To keep you happy, I cannot survive! It drinks my marrow, it steals my breath This perfect reflection is a beautiful death! The more I nurture what you want to see The less there is of actual me! [Bridge] (Tempo switches, heavy IDM/grime beat stutter) (Screamed vocals) Do you love the mirror? Or do you love the host? You’re kissing a reflection! You’re hugging a ghost! It’s beautiful, it’s painless, it’s cold to the touch I gave up my body because I loved you too much! [Outro] Just a shell... Just a shining, silver shell... Perfect. Empty. (Static fade out)
