Verse I Darkness, answer when I call, Show me what you keep from me. I stare into the glass and see Somebody else is in my skin. Pre-Chorus If this reflection tells the truth, Then where did my spirit go? Whose tired hands now wear my skin? Who left me here to answer no? Chorus The water bends and cuts my face; The veil sits low and heavy on my eyes. I call my name the voices thins. The silence knows me better than I. I'm trapped beneath another skin, Still breathing, waiting, asking why. Verse II A nameless dread has gripped my chest And pulls me down toward what’s inside. What if beneath this worn-out skin A cold, bent thing has learned to hide? A worm that feeds beneath the soul— Meaner than any tale I know. Pre-Chorus II The deeper that I dare to go, The less I know the man I seek. Every answer leaves a bruise; Every truth pulls back and leaks. Chorus The water bends and cuts my face; The veil sits low and heavy on my eyes. I call my name—the voices thins. The silence knows me better than I. I'm trapped beneath another skin, Still breathing, waiting, asking why. (Hook Break) Cut it. Strip it. Borrowed bones. Rip the mask. Bare my skull. Final Chorus Darkness, hide your secrets now; Reveal the self I truly bear. Though scarred and torn, I'll face the night To meet the break of morning air. If all that's left is shattered glass, I'll gather every broken shard. For even shattered mirrors still Catch the stars beyond the dark. Outro (Final Hook) The mirror never learned my name. The shadows never owned my heart. Beneath the mud... Beneath the veil... The man I lost still wants to start. I am not the face I wear. I am the voice beneath the scar. And though the darkness knows me well... It will not tell me who You are.
