[Spoken Intro] They say we're all wearing masks... but what if the mask becomes your face? What if the darkness you pretend to hide... is all you really are? [Verse 1] Mirror mirror on my wall Reflecting shadows down the hall Every choice I make seems wrong Like a discordant devil's song Through the cracks of my disguise Seeping darkness, crimson lies In this game of hide and seek My true self I dare not speak While angels weep up in the night [Chorus] I'm the shadow in your light The wrong turn that feels so right Try to change but demons stay Dancing through another day Can't escape who I might be The monster looking back at me [Verse 2] Every promise that I break Leaves another soul to shake Down this road of thorns and shame Playing my corrupted game Watch them trust with innocent eyes While I weave my web of lies Like a wolf among the sheep Secrets that I'll always keep Till my conscience fades away [Chorus] I'm the shadow in your light The wrong turn that feels so right Try to change but demons stay Dancing through another day Can't escape who I might be The monster looking back at me [Bridge] Sometimes in the dead of night When my guard is down, I see Glimpses of what could have been If this darkness set me free But the chains I forged myself Keep me bound to who I am Though I yearn to break these walls I remain in no man's land [Verse 3] Every dawn brings one more mask One more lie, one harder task Playing roles that never fit In this endless counterfeit Yet beneath each crafted smile Lurks the truth I can't deny Born to walk the darker path Bearing heaven's righteous wrath Till my final curtain falls [Spoken Outro] Maybe the real question isn't who I am... But who I'm afraid to become. The answer might be the same thing after all.
