[Intro]
[Verse 1]
A reflection laughs, but the smile’s not mine,
Echoes of a voice that won’t align.
Pockets full of stars I’ve yet to name,
But the sky feels heavy, wrapped in someone else’s frame.
[Pre-Chorus]
Stitches on my seams, they itch and twist,
A puzzle half-solved in morning mist.
I paint the walls with shades untrue,
Waiting for the day they’ll bloom like you.
[Chorus]
Oh, mirror, mirror, let me see,
The butterfly trapped inside the tree.
One day these bones will sing the tune,
When the cocoon cracks and I’m not out of tune.
[Verse 2]
The clock ticks backwards, or so it seems,
Dancing in a costume made of daydreams.
A name like confetti stuck in my throat,
But I’ll build a ladder from each misread note.
[Pre-Chorus]
Threads of my heart knot and fray,
Yet I’ll weave them into wings someday.
The world’s a stage, but I’ll rewrite the script,
With every scar where the old me slipped.
[Chorus]
Oh, mirror, mirror, let me see,
The butterfly trapped inside the tree.
One day these bones will sing the tune,
When the cocoon cracks and I’m not out of tune.
[Bridge]
A friend whispers, “Your colors will rise,
Like dawn breaking through the night’s disguise.”
They hand me a brush dipped in light,
And suddenly the shadows don’t bite.
[Outro]
The shell may creak, but it won’t erase,
The bloom beneath this borrowed space.
When the petals fall, I’ll finally stand,
A mosaic of the soul I’ve always planned.
