[Intro] [Filtered pad, distant reverb, vinyl crackle] Saw a ghost in the mirror… Looked like me… just colder [Verse 1] [Grime cadence, minimal 808 + rimshots] Saw my face but it ain’t quite right Eyes too dark, don’t catch that light Same old frame but the soul ain’t mine Like I left myself somewhere in time Glasses on, still can’t see clear Fake that smile when they draw too near Laugh out loud but it don’t feel real Man’s just numb, don’t know what I feel Wake up slow, yeah the day feels dead Ash in my chest, got weight in my head Move through crowds but I’m out of place Like I’m watching life from a second face [Pre-Chorus] [Melodic grime vocal, slight autotune] Speak low, but they don’t hear sound Too many people but I ain’t found Is it me or the silence loud? Man gets lost in a quiet crowd [Chorus] [Hook – melodic grime, emotional but rhythmic] Ghost in my mirror, wearing my face Fade in the dark, don’t leave no trace Nobody clocks it, nobody stares Just me and the thoughts I carry upstairs Ghost in my mirror, thin like air Cracks in my skin but nobody cares Maybe tomorrow I let him in Let that version of me just win [Verse 2] [More bounce, tighter flow] Late night ride, no destination Streetlight flash like interrogation Window down, let the cold air speak Still don’t know what I’m tryna seek Photos stuck in a frozen frame Old me there but it ain’t the same Time moves on but I lag behind Still in the past in my own mind Sit real still on the window ledge One wrong move and I’m off that edge World keeps spinning, I stay on pause Lost in loops with no real cause [Pre-Chorus] [Variation] If I talk, will they hear my voice? Or is silence the only choice? Every word feels outta place Like I’m speaking from outer space [Chorus] [same hook] [Bridge] [Half-time, darker, almost spoken] Breathe in smoke, breathe out doubt Truth locked in, can’t get it out Mirror talk but it don’t reply Just shows me truths I can’t deny Me and me in a silent war Same reflection, but something’s off Secrets sit where the glass don’t break Every glance is a risk I take [Outro] [Minimal, fading] Saw a ghost in the mirror… Still looks like me… just colder Maybe one day he fades away… Or I fade and he takes my place
