Mirror Mirror

[Verse 1] Wake up to the same damn ceiling Clock keeps screaming, no more dreaming Rent is rising, hope is shrinking Scroll the feed while the ship is sinking Boss says "family," but the check says "maybe" Overtime for free, then he calls me lazy Smile for the camera, hide the pain inside Everybody's winning while we're drowning in the tide [Pre-Chorus] Masks on too long, forgot who we are Chasing the light but we're lost in the dark Truth got buried in the algorithm's lies You can't see me, I can't see you — everybody's blind [Chorus] Mirror, mirror, who the hell am I? Laughing while I'm crying, crying while I'm high You call me crazy, I call you the disease In a world gone mad, who's really free? [Verse 2] Social media gods with their perfect lives Behind the screen, somebody's soul just died Borrowed chains and rented cars for a photograph Real self vanished, ain't no coming back News flash daily — who died, who stole Numb to the horror, apathy takes its toll Kids ask, "Why do grown-ups lie so much?" I got no answer, just a hollow touch [Pre-Chorus] System's a cage, you think you're swimming free But you're just a fish in a glass bowl, can't you see? Freedom's a slogan painted on the wall You scream it out loud, they just let you fall [Chorus] Mirror, mirror, who the hell am I? Laughing while I'm crying, crying while I'm high You call me crazy, I call you the disease In a world gone mad, who's really free? [Bridge] I'm done pretending, done playing nice Done being the person they want me to be twice If madness is the only sane reply Then I'll stand on the edge and scream at the sky [Chorus] Mirror, mirror, now I finally see I'm not you, and you're not me Even if the whole world disagrees Right now, right here — I can finally breathe
