[INTRO — HAUNTING PIANO, DISTANT ECHO] Look into the mirror... What do you see? A face you remember... Or who they say you should be? [VERSE 1 — INTIMATE MALE VOCAL] The memories live in yesterday, But yesterday can change its shape. A thousand moments, warm and bright, Can look like shadows in a different light. The words you heard, the things you knew, The promises that once rang true, Can all be placed beneath a frame That gives the past another name. [PRE-CHORUS — GENTLE BUILD] If they call the sunrise night, Will you surrender your own sight? If they call the truth a lie, Will you never question why? [CHORUS — HAUNTING, MELODIC] WHEN THE MIRROR LIES, WHO WILL YOU BELIEVE? The picture in the glass, Or the life you can perceive? WHEN THE MIRROR LIES, Let the questions remain. A story isn't proven Just because they speak it again. Look beyond the reflection, Look beyond the disguise. You deserve the freedom To question the mirror's eyes. [VERSE 2 — DARKER, GOTHIC STRINGS] Perhaps the one who loved you once Is painted as the darkest one. Perhaps the kindness you recall Is given shadows, stripped of all. Or perhaps the past was not as clear As memory makes it appear. No single voice can hold the key To everything that came to be. [PRE-CHORUS — BUILDING TENSION] Don't let anger write the past. Don't let fear decide what's last. Gather what you know and see, Let your judgment still be free. [CHORUS — FULLER, DARKER] WHEN THE MIRROR LIES, WHO WILL YOU BELIEVE? The picture in the glass, Or the life you can perceive? WHEN THE MIRROR LIES, Let the questions remain. A story isn't proven Just because they speak it again. Look beyond the reflection, Look beyond the disguise. You deserve the freedom To question the mirror's eyes. [BRIDGE — PIANO AND WHISPERED VOCALS] Not every memory is proof. Not every story holds the truth. But neither fear nor accusation Can replace your examination. [FINAL CHORUS — SOARING, CINEMATIC] WHEN THE MIRROR LIES, Let the silence break. Look at every side of the story, For your own judgment's sake. WHEN THE MIRROR LIES, Let the truth survive. You are more than someone's version Of the life you lived and why. [OUTRO — PIANO, ECHOING WHISPERS] Look into the mirror... Look again... What is the truth? Where does the story end? Which one brought back the youth? Which one made you alive again? Was it the extraordinary? Or was it them the ordinary? You know what's neccessary!
