“The Pilgrim: Hall Of  Mirrors

Look at you… so certain in borrowed light Is that truth… or just a reflection that learned your name? 🪞 VERSE I walked through the glass of a thousand faces Every step felt strangely mine All the roads bent back in circles Every sign said “you’re in time” (Jester, soft) You walked so far… but did you move at all? 🌫️ PRE-CHORUS Every answer felt like an echo Every echo wore my voice Was I hearing something deeper— Or just learning how to choose? (Jester rising) Turn the mirror—watch it change its mind… Was it real, or just the light Playing tricks on me? Did I find what I was looking for Or just what I believed? Was it truth, or just a spark In a hall I couldn’t see? Was it real, or just the light Playing tricks on me? Was it truth, or just a spark In a hall I couldn’t see? Every shadow had an answer Every answer split in two Every door I thought was open Led me deeper into you (Jester, amused) Every answer you found… was waiting for you to agree… Was it real, or just the light Playing tricks on me? Did I find what I was looking for Or just what I believed? Was it real, or just the light Playing tricks on me? Did I find what I was looking for Or just what I believed? Was it truth, or just a spark In a hall I couldn’t see? Was it real, or just the light Playing tricks on me? In the caves of echoes… every truth comes back wearing your voice You didn’t find the light… you recognized it And recognition… can be wrong So tell me, pilgrim… if it was always yours— why did you have to lose yourself to see it? Was it real… or just the light… Playing tricks on me… (gradual build) Was it real, or just the light Playing tricks on me? Did I find what I was looking for Or just what I believed? I only twist the lens… you decide what’s real…
