[Verse 1] The glass is cold against my palm A false facade of perfect calm I’m tracing lines around my eyes The map of every thousand lies I see the crack within the stare The ghost of who was never there A jagged edge, a crooked smile I’ve been haunting myself for a long, long while. [Pre-Chorus] The lighting’s dim but the truth is bright I’m tired of hiding in the middle of the night Looking for a version that I can stand With a shaking heart and a heavy hand. [Chorus] So I’m breaking the mirror, I’m shattering the view I’m done with the image I’ve been clinging to! Every imperfection, every jagged part Is a silver splinter buried in my heart! Let the silver rain fall down on the floor I won’t be a reflection of a lie anymore! [Verse 2] The pieces scatter, sharp and thin Showing the war beneath my skin I see a thousand different me’s In a hundred different tragedies I used to fear the scars I showed But now I see the path they strode There’s a beauty in the broken frame That the polished surface couldn’t name. [Pre-Chorus] The lighting’s gone and the truth is loud I’m stepping out from behind the cloud No more staring at what I lack Because the glass can’t ever be put back. [Chorus] So I’m breaking the mirror, I’m shattering the view I’m done with the image I’ve been clinging to! Every imperfection, every jagged part Is a silver splinter buried in my heart! Let the silver rain fall down on the floor I won’t be a reflection of a lie anymore! [Bridge] (Music builds with a driving, frantic rhythm) It’s not a failure to be flawed! It’s not a sin to be un-awed! By the symmetry! By the chemistry! Of a person I was forced to be! SMASH THE GLASS! LET IT PASS! I AM FINALLY FREE! [Guitar Solo] (Aggressive, dissonant, then transitioning into a hopeful, soaring melody) [Final Chorus] Yeah, I broke the mirror, I shattered the view I’m saying goodbye to the fake and the blue! Every imperfection, every holy scar Makes me exactly who we are! Let the silver rain wash out the door I’m not a reflection... I’m so much more! [Outro] (Quiet, melodic guitar picking) The frame is empty now. I see the wall. I see the light. And for the first time... I look alright. (Slow fade out on a single, clean chord)
