Mirror Screams

I swore I'd never harden. I swore I'd stay alive. I watched the cold devour the men I never thought I'd be. There is a particular kind of horror that has nothing to do with monsters. It happens slowly. It happens quietly. It happens one wound at a time. And one morning you stand in front of the mirror and the man staring back at you is the exact person you spent your entire life swearing you would never become. "Mirror Screams" is a heavy melodic metal song about that horror. The slow erosion of the soft parts. The hardening you didn't ask for. The cold you tried to outrun until you realized it was already inside you. Every act of trust returned with knives. Every open hand turned into a blade. And piece by piece, the man you wanted to be got replaced by the man you swore you'd never see. You don't become him suddenly. You become him slowly. You become him whole. And the mirror knows. 🎵 LYRICS I swore I'd never harden I swore I'd stay alive I watched the cold devour the men I never thought I'd be I built my walls in iron I drew my line in the sand But every scar stole something warm That used to live in me I see him in my eyes I feel him in my hands The man I'd never be Is the man where I now stand You become it You become it Cold and savage You become it You become it Black and relentless The mirror screams The mirror screams I used to feel the small things I used to break with ease Now I watch the world go down And it barely shakes me I used to trust an open hand I used to give for free Now every hand looks like a blade And the blade looks back at me I see him in my eyes I feel him in my hands The man I'd never be Is the man where I now stand You become it You become it Cold and savage You become it You become it Black and relentless The mirror screams The mirror screams I still fight him every morning I still swing to win But the mirror doesn't lie About the storm within Every word I spit Every step I take He's been hammering in silence While I bend and break You became it You became it Cold and savage You became it You became it Black and relentless Did the warmth burn out? Did the trust get torn? The mirror screams The mirror screams The mirror screams 🎸 Written & Produced by Baba R² 🎵 Genre: Heavy Melodic Metal / Alternative Metal / Dark Metal © 2025 Baba R² Music.
