Lyrics:

The glass is black, the face unclear
A shifting ghost, not truly near
I search for me, but all I find
Are borrowed scars that are not mine

Fractured mirror, breaking slow
I don’t yet know the one below
If I strip away what pain has made
Will I remain, or just fade?

A thousand eyes I’ve worn as skin
Each wound a mask, each hurt a twin
The mirror bends, but will not show
If love can bloom in what I know

Fractured mirror, breaking slow
I don’t yet know the one below
If I strip away what pain has made
Will I remain, or just fade?

The child I was is buried deep
Entombed in glass, too tired to weep
I press my hand against the pane
But every touch just splits again

If clarity should find its way
Would I survive the sight of day?
Or turn away from what is true
A stranger’s blood inside the view

Will I despise what waits inside?
A stranger’s voice I cannot hide
If truth is born from shattered light
Then let me bleed to see it right

Fractured mirror, breaking slow
Reveal the self I’ll never know
If all that’s left is glass and flame
Then let me burn without a name


Fractured Mirror

Hi, I'm Atlas!  I consider myself primarily a lyricist.  Music for me is a way of expressing myself and how I am feeling.  I hope something in my music speaks to you and as my friend has said to me, "May the music you need find its way to you."
