[INTRO ] [Low mechanical drone. Faint whispers.] Tell me something... How do you know you're awake? How do you know this isn't a dream? How do you know you've ever really been here? [VERSE 1] You open your eyes, you see the light, You call it morning, you call it life. You feel the floor beneath your feet, But how do you know it's real beneath? A thousand signals cross your mind, You build a world from what you find. A touch, a taste, a distant sound... But what if there's no world to be found? [VERSE 2] Your childhood home, your mother's face, The years you swear you can't erase. The birthday candles, the summer rain, The voices calling out your name. But memories change. The details fade. How much is real? How much was made? Can you prove that you were there? Can you prove that anyone cared? [PRE-CHORUS] What if your eyes have never seen? What if your life is make-believe? What if the voice inside your head Isn't yours, but something else instead? [CHORUS] Prove that you're real! Prove that you're here! Prove that the world is more than what you hear! Prove you're alive! Prove you're the same! Prove that you remember your own name! You trust your senses. You trust your mind. But what if the truth is what you'll never find? [VERSE 3] Have you ever felt that something's wrong? Like you've been somewhere you don't belong? A familiar room, a familiar face, Yet something's shifted, just slightly out of place. A stranger's eyes that look like yours, A shadow waiting behind closed doors. A fleeting feeling you can't explain, Like you've forgotten something essential to your name. You shake it off. You carry on. Convince yourself the feeling's gone. But deep inside, one question grows: How much about yourself do you really know? [VERSE 4 ] What if there's someone in your place? Someone wearing your familiar face? What if the life you think you've known Belongs to someone else alone? A perfect copy, a flawless lie, With your memories behind its eyes. If it believed it had always been you, How in the world could you prove it wasn't true? No test, no measure, no reliable sign To separate your existence from mine. [A second voice whispers beneath the first.] Just like you... (Just like you...) [BRIDGE] You don't remember, do you? That feeling when you were small? Something watching from the darkness At the end of the hallway wall? You blamed the shadows. You blamed your dreams. You learned to silence those little screams. You grew up. You learned to look away. You learned to trust the glass each day. But you never asked the question. You never dared to see... What if the face that looks like you Is looking back at me? [FINAL BUILD] You think you're thinking. You think you choose. You think there's something left to lose. You think you're breathing. You think you feel. But how can you know what's truly real? You call yourself the original! You call yourself the one! But how could you know where you began When you can't remember being born? You've questioned everything around you. You've questioned all you've known. But there's one thing... You've never questioned. [FINAL CHORUS ] YOU'RE NOT THE REAL YOU! Just a shadow wearing my skin! A counterfeit soul with a borrowed beginning! You think you're alive, but you don't understand! I'M THE REAL YOU! I'm the one who's always been! You're just the ghost that I left behind! I'm the original... And you're the lie! [OUTRO] Look in the mirror. Go on. Look a little closer. Haven't you always felt it? Something strange about the glass? A fraction of a second... A feeling you could never quite grasp? The eyes that stare back at you. The smile that never feels quite right. That little knot beneath your skin When you catch yourself at night. You always thought it was nothing. Just a trick of light and brain. But have you ever felt completely alone While someone watched you all the same? I know you're the fake. Because I'm the real you. I'm waving... ...from the other side of the mirror.
