[Intro] [Sparse Reverb Piano] [Female Vocals - Ethereal Echoed Whisper] I used to know the mirror well… Before it looked away. [Instrumental Transition - Slow Hip Hop Drums Enter, Dark Cello] [Verse 1 - UK Male Rap Lead] [Rhythmic, Cold, Conversational] She used to know the mirror well, stands cold in the reflection, Every ladder rung climbed with calculated precision. Bit her tongue, shook the hands, called it duty, called it law, Walking tightropes in the sun while ignoring every flaw. Sunlight on the palm trees, high-profile cases, Standing at the podium, burying the traces. She thought the power was a shield that could never crack or bend, Trading pieces of herself just to reach another end. [Pre-Chorus - Male Rap with Female Harmony] [Tension Building, Cello Sustain] [Male Rap Lead] They whispered, "Stand firm, don't question why..." [Female Echo] (So I learned how to justify…) [Chorus - Haunting Female Vocal Lead] [Slow Boom Bap Groove, Melancholic Strings] Was it worth it? Every line I crossed to keep that seat? Was it worth it? Standing tall while losing piece by piece? [Male Rap Counterpoint] (Now the chair is cold... absolute silence) Was it worth it… when they’re done with you? [Verse 2 - UK Male Rap Lead] [Dark Cello Stabs, Subtle Piano] Behind that polished desk, rearranging all the truth, Turning gaze from the dark just to protect her youth. Left no fingerprints behind, just the marks left on the weak, Careful with the headlines, careful when she’d speak. Burying the doubts with a nod and a cold stance, Another headline claim, another step inside the dance. The Sunshine State prosecutor, cold beneath the light, Power hums so loud it drowns out every wrong and right. [Pre-Chorus - Male Rap with Female Harmony] [Piano Swell] [Male Rap Lead] Power hums, it drowns the sound… [Female Echo] (Of every time I should’ve turned around…) [Chorus - Haunting Female Vocal Lead] [Full Strings, Atmospheric Reverb] Was it worth it? Every name I dragged to keep things clean? Was it worth it? Every silence where a voice had been? [Male Rap Counterpoint] (Door’s wide open now... shadow on the floor) Now the door’s wide open, and she’s terrified of what walks through… Was it worth it… when they’re done with you? [Bridge - Spoken Male Rap & Soft Female Vocal] [Drums Stop, Solo Melancholic Piano] [Male Spoken Word Lead] She remembers all the faces that she couldn't face. Eyes that searched her eyes, looking for a single trace… [Female Vocal Lead - Soft, Fragile] Of something human… something real, When there was nothing left to feel. Their voices echo in the room, Questions hanging like a noose… [Male Spoken Word - Layered Underneath] She read the script, she played it cold, And let their stories go untold. Now in the late-night quiet, under cold white lights, Did justice slip away… or did she push it out of sight? [Verse 3 - UK Male Rap Lead] [Heavy Drums Return, Dark Bass Pulsing] No loud alarms, no warnings given in the dark, Just cut her loose one morning, leaving her to mark The cost of loyalty in a game with no allegiance. No second glances given, no respect for obedience. Now she hears the whispers grow, the ones she used to throw, Her name twisted in the press, caught in the undertow. Target on her back where the cape used to hang, Learning how it feels to face the bell she used to ring. [Final Chorus - Haunting Female Vocal Lead & Male Rap Counterpoint] [Peak Emotion, Layered Cellos and Violins] [Female Vocal Lead] Was it worth it? [Female Vocal Lead] All the deals I made to keep that seat? [Female Vocal Lead] Was it worth it? [Female Vocal Lead] Standing tall while losing who she’d be? [Male Rap Counterpoint] (Now she sees it clearly, what was traded to get through…) [Female Vocal Lead] Was it worth it? [Female Vocal Lead] Would she change it… if she knew? [Female Vocal Lead] Was it worth it… [Female Vocal Lead] Now they’re coming for her too? [Outro] [Beat Fades Out, Soft Piano & Fading Violin] [Female Echo - Soft Whisper] She used to know the mirror well… [Male Spoken Word] Now it won’t look back at all. [Fade To Silence]
