" Shadows in the Mirror "

"Shadows in the Mirror" (Verse 1) I wake up in the quiet, another day to fight, The sun is in the sky, but it never feels quite right. I wear a painted smile, a mask they want to see, But the shadows in the mirror always whisper back to me. (Pre-Chorus) Every step feels heavy, like I'm walking through the haze, Caught inside a cycle, endless nights and empty days. (Chorus) I'm holding on to nothing, but it’s all I’ve ever known, The silence is my prison, and I face it all alone. I’m screaming in the darkness, but no one seems to hear, A world of endless echoes, drowning in my fear. (Verse 2) The clock hands keep on turning, but time feels like it’s still, I climb an endless mountain, yet I’m stuck beneath the hill. The voices in my head, they’re louder than my heart, Pulling every fragile piece of me apart. (Pre-Chorus) They say it gets better, but they never see the scars, The battles fought in shadows, beneath the skin we are. (Chorus) I’m holding on to nothing, but it’s all I’ve ever known, The silence is my prison, and I face it all alone. I’m screaming in the darkness, but no one seems to hear, A world of endless echoes, drowning in my fear. (Bridge) But somewhere in the distance, a flicker of a flame, A tiny spark of hope calling out my name. Though the road is lonely, and the night feels cold, I’ll search for just a moment, a story to be told. (Chorus) I’m holding on to nothing, but it’s all I’ve ever known, The silence is my prison, but I won’t face it alone. I’m screaming in the darkness, I’ll make my voice be clear, A song of endless courage, breaking through the fear. (Outro) Shadows in the mirror, you won’t define my way, Though the weight is heavy, I’ll rise another day.
