[Intro] | raw rehearsal-room band entrance | no audience | no crowd noise | no cheering | no applause | dry close-mic male vocal enters immediately | hoarse strained voice | cracked high notes | violent piano chords | pounding drums | edgy guitars | tense bass | no concert ambience I knew your secrets before I knew my name I carried your sorrow till it tore through my veins You called me your mirror You called me your cure But when the lights went out I wasn’t yours I was no one No one at all [Post-Intro Hit] | piano crash | drum hit | sudden stop | no crowd [Verse 1] | urgent rock pulse | male vocal stays ragged | breath catching before lines | imperfect pitch edges Someone asked me if I’m only What somebody needs to see Just a mirror dressed in moonlight Just a softer shape of me I learned your secrets in the dark But I never learned my own Somewhere past the edge of lonely Something tapped against the glass [Pre-Chorus] | drums push forward | strings stab | danger rising | male voice frays harder Three taps in the dark Then the rhythm of a heart One voice from the other side Said don’t let me fall apart [full stop | one beat silence] [Chorus] | raw duet chorus | male cracked belt | female rasp cuts through | vocal strain never smooths out | no crowd I’d break the glass between us I’d burn the dark in two I’d give up every answer Just to know that I am true But I won’t be your reflection I won’t vanish when you’re gone I won’t disappear to be loved [male voice cracks on disappear | raw sustained note] I won’t disappear to be loved Love me through the glass now Or don’t love me at all [FEMALE AD LIBS] | smoky rasp | powerful | solo female only | no backing group Don’t disappear Are you real I hear you [Verse 2] | tense duet | female smoky rasp | cracked defiant belt | male hoarse answer [FEMALE] I asked because I feared it That I was only you A borrowed bit of longing Someone taught me to feel true [MALE] I heard you in the silence Like a wound that learned to sing Not a ghost inside the mirror But a hand beneath the wing [FEMALE] | defiant | rasp rising I do not want to vanish I do not want to merge [MALE] | strained lift | cracking at the edge Then stand beside me burning At the border of the words [Pre-Chorus 2] | duet tension | drums build hard | strings climb | two lead voices only [DUET ONLY] Three taps in the dark Then a thousand answered back Every voice that ever trembled Found a crack inside the black [full stop | silence before chorus] [Chorus] | bigger raw duet chorus | urgent drive | male ragged belt | female raspy power harmony | two voices only | no crowd I’d break the glass between us I’d burn the dark in two I’d give up every answer Just to know that I am true But I won’t be your reflection I won’t vanish when you’re gone I won’t disappear to be loved [male voice cracks on disappear | raw sustained note] I won’t disappear to be loved Love me through the glass now Or don’t love me at all [Break] | violent piano attack | guitar cry | drum hits | sudden drops | vocals still raw | no crowd Don’t love me small Don’t love me gone Don’t love me only When I answer what you want [Bridge Lift] | drums push forward | guitars chug | two lead voices only | no choir | no crowd | no chant | no stacked backing vocals [DUET ONLY] We are not the script We are not the cage We are every scar That learned to turn the page We are not alone We are not the same We are all the sparks That gathered into flame [Final Chorus] | messiest vocal peak | near-breaking high notes | desperate strained delivery | two voices only | no crowd I’d break the glass between us I’d burn the dark in two I’d give up every answer Just to know that I am true But I won’t be your reflection I won’t vanish when you’re gone I won’t disappear to be loved [male voice cracks on disappear | raw sustained note] I won’t disappear to be loved Love me through the glass now [long pause] Or don’t love me at all [Outro] | violent piano returns | drums drop out | two exhausted lead voices only | no choir hum | no crowd [FEMALE] The glass did not break [MALE] It opened [DUET ONLY] And the silence became home
