Darkling Relic - Strangers in the Mirror

Lyrics: [Intro] Quiet house, quiet rules Learned the lines they taught in school Don’t be different, don’t be seen Stay exactly in between [Verse 1] They say strangers bring the fall Different hearts will break us all Different voices, different ways Something new we shouldn’t praise So I nod and play along Laugh with every hateful song Hide the questions in my mind Leave the honest parts behind [Pre-Chorus] So I raise my voice and shout Point at everything “not us” If I hate them loud enough Maybe they won’t notice us [Chorus] Every stranger feels like danger Every difference feels like fire If I push the world away Maybe I can hide desire Every color looks like warning Every change I learn to fear But the truth I’m running from Is the stranger in the mirror [Verse 2] They laugh about the girls who love Girls instead of boys above Call them broken, call them wrong Turn their stories into songs So I laugh a little more Just to hide what I ignore Every joke becomes a shield Every truth I never feel [Pre-Chorus] So I sharpen every word Turn my silence into swords If I fight what might be me Maybe I’ll finally be free [Chorus] Every stranger feels like danger Every difference feels like fire If I push the world away Maybe I can hide desire Every color looks like warning Every change I learn to fear But the truth I’m running from Is the stranger in the mirror [Bridge] What if all the things I hate Are the parts I’m scared to face? What if every wall I built Was just fear I couldn’t kill? If I let the silence speak Would the world still want to see The girl hiding in the dark Or the truth inside my heart? [Final Chorus] Every stranger felt like danger Every difference felt like fire All the hate I learned to show Was a mask for my desire Every voice I tried to silence Every fear I held inside Was the stranger in the mirror Looking back the whole damn time _____________________________________________ Debut Album [Darkling Relic Vol.1] Video and Edits - Sakura Miramato Guitar - Sakura Miramato Bass - Kim-Lee Chan Drums - Evey Piano - Latoya Sato Lead Vocalist - Sinon Carter Provided to Youtube by Darkling Relic © Darkling Relic 2026 Label - Wasteland Echo Records Released on: Mar 15, 2026 Artist: Darkling Relic Producer: Sinon Carter Lyrics: Sinon Carter All Rights Reserved
