Black Window

[Verse 1]
There’s a black window in the back of my mind,
A fracture in thought where shadows align.
It doesn’t open, it doesn’t close —
It watches me with eyes I know.

A silent scream behind the glass,
A version of me I couldn’t pass.
It shows the worst of all I’ve been,
And waits for me to let it in.

[Pre-Chorus]
I see it blink in every night,
A mirror cracked by phantom light…

[Chorus]
Black window, staring through me,
Dark twin born to undo me.
It sees the cracks, the fears I hide,
And whispers truths I’ve long denied.

Black window, bleeding sky —
It knows which part of me must die.
But I won’t break, I won’t obey —
Not today.

[Verse 2]
It fogs my vision, bends my spine,
Mocks the rhythm of my time.
It moves when I refuse to speak,
It grows more loud when I feel weak.

Every breath, it breathes me back,
A pulse inside the mental black.
I feel it pulling at my core —
But I won’t be what came before.

[Bridge]
Is it me… or just a mask?
A past I locked behind the glass?
(Shatter me!)
(Burn it down!)
I will not wear your shadow crown!

[Final Chorus]
Black window, fracture line,
You will not claim what’s still mine.
Your gaze may haunt, your voice may call,
But I will not let myself fall.

Black window, dark divine —
You're the ghost I leave behind.
I see you now… I seal you in…
You are not me. You’ll never win.
