No more mirrors

[Title: NO MORE MIRRORS] [Intro — distant piano, radio noise] Can you hear me under the signal? There’s a shadow in the doorway, wearing every face I lost. [Instrumental — piano and low strings] [Verse 1 — quiet, restrained] I learned to breathe without a sound. I built a room behind my eyes. I smiled when they said, while something in me begged for death— not the end of my life, just the end of the lie. [Pre-Chorus 1 — drums begin] But the glass is getting thinner. There’s a name beneath the noise that I almost recognize. [Chorus 1 — full band enters] Tear down every mirror, let the broken pieces fall. I am done becoming smaller just to fit inside your walls. When the lights expose the damage, I won’t hide it anymore. [Post-Chorus — backing choir] No more mirrors. No more borrowed eyes. No more living as somebody else’s lie. [Verse 2 — heavier bass and guitar] You called my silence loyalty, called my fear humility. Now the voice behind my teeth is learning how to speak my name. [Pre-Chorus 2 — rising strings] You can turn the world against me. But the truth you tried to bury has been waiting in the ceiling. And it’s falling— [Chorus 2 — larger, choir harmonies] Tear down every mirror. I won’t crawl across the ashes. I will carry every fracture, I will answer to my name. No more mirrors. I won’t hide it anymore. [Instrumental Break — distorted guitar melody, orchestral strings] [Spoken Interlude — music drops to heartbeat and piano] Do you remember when you told me surviving was the same as being alive? I believed you. But look at me now. I found the lock. And you left the key inside my chest. [Build — tom drums, rising choir] [Verse 3 — double-time delivery] I’ve been walking through the static with a storm beneath my skin. You designed me for obedience, but a weapon learns its maker. I was never just an echo. I was gathering the pieces, sharpening the truth. let the whole illusion fall. I was never made to vanish, I was never yours at all. I won’t beg you for forgiveness. Now the air belongs to me. [Backing vocals overlap] Let it fall! Let it break! Let the sleeping spirit wake! I will not apologize for the thunder in my lungs. I will not erase the scars is mine. [Ontro] [Final piano note]
