Mirror and Ash

[Intro – ambient, whispered]
(What am I?)
Look in the mirror and ask…



⸻



[Verse 1]
I saw a ghost staring back at me
Under neon skies, lost identity
Midnight buzz, city hum in the vein
Trying to feel real inside insanity’s frame
Mirror cracks from where the truth bent
I built that shape, then I was sent
To face the man who made the mess
Now I wake up and ask, “Was that me or less?”

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – rising tension]
You said love would save the fall
But I’m just ashes on the wall

⸻

[Chorus – punch but emotional]
What does that make me, when I’m just dust and wire?
A man made of nothing—chaos and fire
What does that make me, when there’s no one to blame?
Just a reflection in the echoes of your name

⸻

[Verse 2 – rhythmic, syncopated]
Walking through a dream that kept me scared
Used to chase comfort in love unprepared
Now every skyline looks too cold
Every promise just metallic and bold
I turned my heart into something synthetic
Burned the bridge, made the exit
On my own — in the echo I dwell
Now I ask the mirror — am I heaven or hell?

⸻

[Pre‑Chorus – layered]
Your voice in the glass won’t break
Whispering, “You’re the one at stake”

⸻

[Chorus – layered vocals, heavier beat]
What does that make me, when I’m just dust and wire?
A man made of nothing—chaos and fire
What does that make me, when there’s no one to blame?
Just a reflection in the echoes of your name

⸻

[Bridge – glitchy, vocal chopped FX]
Mirror talk, mirror break
What is love, what I take
Ash to dust, no mistake
My world shifting in the ache

⸻

[Final Chorus – full ambience]
What does that make me, when I’m just dust and wire?
A man born from darkness—still climbing the fire
What does that make me, when the glass cuts deep?
A shadow asking “Who am I?” before I sleep



⸻



[Outro – echo fade, reversed vocal snippet]
(What am I?)
Mirror… ash…
