[Verse 1] The wind tore through the cracked glass pane And dragged a chill across the floor One candle leaned and fought the dark Then bled its light beside the door Eleanor stepped into the hall Her beam cut dust like fallen ash The manor held its breath so still You could hear the old boards start to crack [Pre-Chorus] She knew the story, knew the stain The far wall mirror, silver framed They said it never showed your skin Only the thing you fear within [Chorus] Look in the mirror Tell me what you see Look in the mirror It’s not what should be The whispering mirror Calling out your name The whispering mirror Shows your hidden shame [Verse 2] She crossed the ballroom, thin and slow Past draped-up chairs and shattered glass Moonlight lay in strips of ice Where every footprint seemed to last The mirror stood on clawed-up feet Tall as a saint, cold as a grave Its surface breathed a gray-blue fog Like someone trapped and trying to wake [Pre-Chorus] She raised the light, the glass replied With a second pulse, a deeper tide Her own face trembled, thin and pale Then something else began to sail [Chorus] Look in the mirror Tell me what you see Look in the mirror It’s not what should be The whispering mirror Calling out your name The whispering mirror Shows your hidden shame [Bridge] Not her hands Not her eyes A darker room behind her lies A child crying in the dark A locked door, a broken heart She turned to run But heard it speak Soft as frost And sharp as teeth “Eleanor You came too late The fear you fled Has learned your face” [Final Chorus] Look in the mirror Tell me what you see Look in the mirror It’s hunting you and me The whispering mirror Calling out your name The whispering mirror Won’t let you be the same [Outro] The candle shook The glass went black And something smiled When she stepped back The wind kept howling Through the pane And the manor held Her fear in vain
