Mirror talk 2

(OPENING)  
The mirror’s breathing heavy like it’s waiting for my move,  
Like it’s daring me to face the things I never want to prove.  
Like it’s whispering, “You ready? ‘Cause there’s nothing left to lose,”  
And the man inside the glass is tired of letting me excuse.
(VERSE 1)  
He says, “Listen — God forgave you, but you weaponize your guilt.  
You pretend you’re unredeemable to dodge the life He built.  
You’d rather drown in shame than let His mercy get instilled,  
‘Cause you’re scared to lose the darkness that you’ve wrapped around your will.”  

Then he pauses…  
And the silence hits me harder than the screams,  
Like he’s letting me decide if I’ll keep living in extremes.  
Like he’s daring me to kill the man who’s haunted all my dreams,  
Or keep feeding him excuses while he rips apart my seams.
(HOOK)  
Mirror talk…  
You been dragging out my pain  
You been showing me the parts of me I tried so hard to chain  
Mirror talk…  
You been tearing me apart  
But maybe breaking down the lies is how I get a brand new start  
Mirror talk…  
I ain’t scared of what I see  
If the man inside the mirror is the one I’m meant to free  
Mirror talk…  
You’re the truth I can’t outrun  
If the war is in the mirror, then the war has just begun.
(VERSE 2)  
I stare back at my reflection — venom dripping from his grin,  
And I realize every battle that I lost was fought within.  
But the mirror ain’t my enemy — it’s where the war begins,  
And the man I’m scared of facing is the one I have to win.  

So I tell him, “I’m not breaking — I’m becoming who I am.  
I’m not dying in the shadows just because that’s where I ran.  
I’m not living in the trauma that’s been choking every plan,  
I’m not bowing to the darkness — I’m a different kind of man.”
(VERSE 3 – THE RISE)  
He tries to pull me under with the memories I fear,  
But I’m standing in the rubble of the lies I used to hear.  
And I’m done with being haunted by the whispers in my ear,  
I’m reclaiming every moment that I wasted on the fear.  

If the mirror wants a monster, it can watch me tear him down,  
I’ve been drowning in the shadows — now I’m rising from the ground.  
I’m not running from the truth, I’m not afraid to hear the sound  
Of the chains that used to choke me as they crumble all around.
(BRIDGE)  
Maybe the mirror ain’t the enemy I thought it was,  
Maybe it’s just showin’ me the parts I never learned to love.  
Maybe all the broken pieces that I hated for so long  
Were the very things that shaped me into someone strong.
(FINAL OUTRO)  
So I’m lookin’ in the mirror with a different set of eyes,  
Not the boy who felt alone, but the man who still survives.  
And the voice inside my head ain’t as heavy as before,  
‘Cause the mirror ain’t my prison —  
It’s the place I’m learnin’ more.  

And if the mirror starts to grin like it’s ready for a fight,  
I’ll just smile back and tell it,  
“I’m the one who owns the night.”
