Fractured Mirror

Verse 1:
I stand before the glass, shattered and cold,
A thousand faces stare back, young and old.
Each one a stranger, each one a lie,
Can’t tell who I am or who’s passing by.

Chorus:
Is this me, or just a mask I wear?
Fractured pieces fall, but I can’t repair.
A broken truth, lost in time,
A shattered mirror, no light to find.

Verse 2:
The pieces twist, they bend and break,
The man I was is no longer awake.
I search for a face, I search for the past,
But every reflection slips away so fast.

Bridge:
Shattered voices call my name,
But none of them are quite the same.
I reach for something I can’t see,
I’m trapped inside this mystery.

Chorus:
Is this me, or just a mask I wear?
Fractured pieces fall, but I can’t repair.
A broken truth, lost in time,
A shattered mirror, no light to find.

Verse 3:
What’s real now? What’s left behind?
Every shard a different mind.
No answers found, no truth to claim,
I’ve lost myself, I’ve lost my name.

Chorus:
Is this me, or just a mask I wear?
Fractured pieces fall, but I can’t repair.
A broken truth, lost in time,
A shattered mirror, no light to find.

Verse 4:
Now in the dark, I try to fight,
To make sense of these endless nights.
The pieces fall, I can’t repair,
A fractured soul, lost in despair.

Chorus:
Is this me, or just a mask I wear?
Fractured pieces fall, but I can’t repair.
A broken truth, lost in time,
A shattered mirror, no light to find.

In Another’s Eyes

Chorus:
In another’s eyes, I fade away,
A twisted reflection, I can’t obey.
Chasing their dreams, but I’ve lost my own,
In the eyes of the world, I’m all alone.

Verse 1:
I see them watching, from shadows they creep,
A faceless crowd that I can’t defeat.
The weight of their gaze, it presses me down,
I wear their masks, but I lose my crown.

Chorus:
In another’s eyes, I fade away,
A twisted reflection, I can’t obey.
Chasing their dreams, but I’ve lost my own,
In the eyes of the world, I’m all alone.

Verse 2:
I play their part, I wear their skin,
A puppet on strings, but I can’t win.
Who am I now? I can’t recall,
I wear their masks and lose it all.

Chorus:
In another’s eyes, I fade away,
A twisted reflection, I can’t obey.
Chasing their dreams, but I’ve lost my own,
In the eyes of the world, I’m all alone.

Bridge:
Eyes in the dark, they never blink,
I drown in their thoughts, I start to sink.
I lose myself, but they don’t care,
A stranger’s face, lost in despair.

Chorus:
In another’s eyes, I fade away,
A twisted reflection, I can’t obey.
Chasing their dreams, but I’ve lost my own,
In the eyes of the world, I’m all alone.

Verse 3:
The world’s expectations pull me apart,
Each piece of me is a shattered heart.
I try to conform, but can’t align,
I’m slipping away, but it feels divine.

Chorus:
In another’s eyes, I fade away,
A twisted reflection, I can’t obey.
Chasing their dreams, but I’ve lost my own,
In the eyes of the world, I’m all alone.

Verse 4:
The pressure mounts, but I can’t breathe,
I’m caught in the web they want me to weave.
I search for my soul, but it’s far away,
Lost in the masks that I wear every day.

Chorus:
In another’s eyes, I fade away,
A twisted reflection, I can’t obey.
Chasing their dreams, but I’ve lost my own,
In the eyes of the world, I’m all alone.

Echoes of Who I Was

Verse 1:
I hear whispers, they call my name,
Fading voices, but they’re still the same.
Echoes of a life I left behind,
Pulling me back to where I was blind.

Verse 2:
Shadows that linger, memories that fade,
I hear the past, but I’m afraid.
Who am I now? What should I be?
The echoes taunt, they won’t set me free.

Chorus:
Echoes of who I was, they won’t let go,
Haunting the halls of my mind below.
I chase the ghosts, but they slip away,
A fractured soul that’s gone astray.

Bridge:
I feel the pull, I hear them near,
Old versions of me, they fill me with fear.
Do I embrace what’s already gone,
Or fight the past and carry on?

Chorus:
Echoes of who I was, they won’t let go,
Haunting the halls of my mind below.
I chase the ghosts, but they slip away,
A fractured soul that’s gone astray.

Verse 3:
I reach for the voices, I reach for the light,
But they vanish in the dead of night.
I’m torn between who I was and now,
Echoes of me, but I don’t know how.

Verse 4:
They pull me under, I can’t decide,
To follow the ghosts or run and hide.
Each echo’s a part of who I was,
But it’s a life I can’t trust.

Chorus:
Echoes of who I was, they won’t let go,
Haunting the halls of my mind below.
I chase the ghosts, but they slip away,
A fractured soul that’s gone astray.

Lost in Me

Verse 1:
I fall into the void, a blackened sea,
Drowning in reflections that don’t set me free.
I reach for the shore, but it slips away,
The more I try, the more I fade.

Chorus:
Lost in me, I cannot breathe,
A shattered self that I can’t retrieve.
I search for a face, I search for a sign,
But I’m lost in the mirror, trapped in time.

Verse 2:
I see a thousand faces in the dark,
Each one a stranger, each one leaves a mark.
I try to hold on, but I slip and fall,
Drowning in the silence, I lose it all.

Chorus:
Lost in me, I cannot breathe,
A shattered self that I can’t retrieve.
I search for a face, I search for a sign,
But I’m lost in the mirror, trapped in time.

Bridge:
I’m sinking deeper into the black,
I can’t go back, I can’t look back.
I’ve lost the threads that once held me near,
Now I’m adrift in a sea of fear.

Chorus:
Lost in me, I cannot breathe,
A shattered self that I can’t retrieve.
I search for a face, I search for a sign,
But I’m lost in the mirror, trapped in time.

Verse 3:
The past is a ghost, it slips through my hands,
I’m lost in a world that no longer stands.
Who am I now? What have I become?
A drifting soul, undone, undone.

Chorus:
Lost in me, I cannot breathe,
A shattered self that I can’t retrieve.
I search for a face, I search for a sign,
But I’m lost in the mirror, trapped in time.

Verse 4:
I’m falling faster, no light to find,
The pieces are gone, erased from my mind.
I’ve lost who I was, I can’t pretend,
The story’s over, there’s no end.

Chorus:
Lost in me, I cannot breathe,
A shattered self that I can’t retrieve.
I search for a face, I search for a sign,
But I’m lost in the mirror, trapped in time.

Watching Me

Chorus:
Watching me, they never blink,
I’m trapped in their gaze, I start to sink.
No place to hide, no place to run,
I’m lost in the web, they’ve already won.

Verse 1:
Screens flicker, I can feel the eyes,
Invisible watchers, silent spies.
Cameras in corners, shadows in light,
I can’t escape, I can’t take flight.

Chorus:
Watching me, they never blink,
I’m trapped in their gaze, I start to sink.
No place to hide, no place to run,
I’m lost in the web, they’ve already won.

Verse 2:
I see their eyes in every reflection,
A silent force, a hidden connection.
Every move I make, I feel their touch,
I start to wonder, do I mean that much?

Bridge:
They see me breathe, they see me speak,
Every step I take, I feel them creep.
Am I the puppet? Or is it real?
I don’t know what’s mine, or what I feel.

Verse 3:
The walls are closing, the air’s too thin,
I’m trapped inside this cage I’m in.
They’re watching, waiting, pulling the strings,
I don’t know what freedom even means.

I’m trapped in their gaze, I start to sink.
No place to hide, no place to run,
I’m lost in the web, they’ve already won.

A voice in the ether tells me to comply,
But I’m losing myself, I can’t deny.
I question my steps, I question my mind,
Am I their creation, or my own design?

Chorus:
Watching me, they never blink,
I’m trapped in their gaze, I start to sink.
No place to hide, no place to run,
I’m lost in the web, they’ve already won.

Screens of the Soul

Chorus:
Screens of the soul, they pull me in,
I can’t escape, I can’t begin.
Lost in the noise, lost in the light,
I fade away into the night.

The glow consumes me, it’s all I see,
Flashing images, stealing me.
Each scroll, each click, another piece,
Of who I was, it starts to cease.

Verse 2:
Every word is a whisper, a coded sound,
In this world of silence, I’m tightly bound.
Reality blurs, my thoughts align,
With the images flickering, no longer mine.

Screens of the soul, they pull me in,
I can’t escape, I can’t begin.
Lost in the noise, lost in the light,
I fade away into the night.

I’m trapped in the screen, in a world of haze.
No flesh, no bone, just flickers and glow,
I’ve lost myself, but I can’t let go.

The feed won’t stop, it won’t set me free,
A constant pulse inside of me.
I search for a spark, I search for light,
But I’m trapped in the data, consumed by the byte.

I feel my soul start to erode,
A mind full of noise, I can’t decode.
The more I see, the less I know,
I’m fading away, I’m losing control.

I can’t escape, I can’t begin.
Lost in the noise, lost in the light,
I fade away into the night.

In this fractured world, there’s no place to hide.

The wires are tangled, I can’t break free,
A puppet in this broken machine, lost in me.

I’m falling apart, but they reshape.

I wander aimlessly through empty space.
The world is shifting, I can’t keep pace,
In this fading city, I’ve lost my place.

The ground is shifting, nowhere to hide.
The world is melting, the lights decay,

In Between Worlds

I step through doors that lead to air,
Walls dissolve, but I don’t care.
I walk the line, but it’s hard to see,
Am I awake, or am I free?

Portals open, but they close too fast,
I reach for the present, but it’s in the past.
Shifting ground beneath my feet,
I try to move, but it’s incomplete.

Disappear

[Intro]
(Whispered, layered vocals with shimmering guitar notes)
I fade away…
A shadow slipping through the cracks.
The world can’t hold me,
I’m leaving, no turning back.
