[Intro: Instrumental – cello swell → ska riff enters abruptly, tight hi-hats] [Verse 1: Female vocals, sly/confused tone] Tried on a dozen names this week Each one smiled with someone else’s teeth Lipstick lies on a stranger’s cup Call it truth if you drink it enough [Pre-Chorus: Female vocals, rising] I’m a puzzle with burned-up edges Wearing masks like second skin Dancing in the club of reflections Where the cracks let monsters in [Chorus: Female vocals + male shouts] Welcome to the Cracked Mirror Club! We shatter, shine, and never heal up Wink at the void, take your pill Lose yourself — you’ll love the thrill [Post-Chorus: Female vocals, echo/delay] Glitter hides the fracture line... No one leaves the club just fine [Verse 2: Female vocals, more raw] I laughed in glass till my throat bled Screamed my name just to hear what fled Each piece thinks it’s the whole damn truth But none of ‘em fit in my youth [Pre-Chorus: Repeat with male backup whispering under her lines] I’m a puzzle with burned-up edges... (etc.) [Chorus: Female + Male, more aggressive delivery] Welcome to the Cracked Mirror Club! We shatter, shine, and never heal up Wink at the void, take your pill Lose yourself — you’ll love the thrill [Break: Instrumental – ska guitar chopped up into echo pulses, cello rising, beat pause] [Bridge: Male vocals, spoken word over heartbeat synth pulse] You wore that smile yesterday. I saw it crack. Now it’s bleeding glitter on the floor. Who are you today? [Hook: Female vocals, soaring/melancholic] Mirror, mirror, show me wrong I’ve been shattered for too long Hold me close, forget my name In this club, we play the game [Chorus: Final – massive full-band sound, gang vocals + ska horns] Welcome to the Cracked Mirror Club! We shatter, shine, and never heal up Dance with ghosts, wear the lie We crash with style, we never cry [Outro: Female vocals, soft/echoed] I look familiar… but I’m not… I look familiar… [Fade Out:] slow cello drone and tape rewind sound effect
