Mirror cracked, reflection slipping,
Heart so heavy, edges chipping.
Wings of wax in the sun,
Flew too close, now I’m undone.

Diamonds drip, but they cut my skin,
Gold-plated cage, I’m trapped within.
Shadows creeping where light won’t tread,
Dreams I buried, fears I fed.

Tell me, do you hear my cry?
Silent storms in an open sky.

Shattered glow, pieces fall,
Can’t outrun it, I’ve tried it all.
Shattered glow, can’t rewind,
Lost the map, can’t find my mind.

Echoes screaming, walls are thin,
Paper smiles, I’m caving in.
Raindrops dance on the rooftop slate,
Timing cruel, love’s too late.

Cigarette burns on the vinyl seats,
Every scar’s got a story that repeats.
Broken clock, time’s on strike,
Soul’s a thief, it stole my fight.
