[Chorus 1]

Staring into broken mirrors, shattered pieces of my soul

Reflections of a life I once knew, lost in the black hole

Every crack, every fracture, tells a story untold

The image staring back at me, a version of me so cold

I see the pain in my eyes, the scars that won't heal

Memories of the past haunting me, can't escape what I feel

Trying to piece together the fragments, searching for what's real

But the mirror only shows me a distorted ideal

I try to hide behind a mask, pretending to be strong

But deep down I know the truth, I've been broken for too long


[Refrain]

('Cause I wanna take you home) Because time ain't valuable

(Staring at my reflection, oh) Because time ain't valuable


[Verse]

Misunderstood connection (Woah, huh, woah)

Feeling lost in the depths of my own introspection

Every flaw and imperfection, staring back with no objection

Trying to find some direction in this sea of disaffection

Mirror, mirror on the wall, do you see me standing tall? (Woah, huh, woah)

Or am I just another face, another name to let fall?

Trying to make sense of it all, feeling like I'm hitting a wall

But deep down I know, I won't crumble, won't crawl

Reflecting on the past, the memories that don't last

Haunting me like a ghost, shadows of a broken cast (Woah, huh)


[Chorus 1]

Staring into broken mirrors, shattered pieces of my soul

Reflections of a life I once knew, lost in the black hole

Every crack, every fracture, tells a story untold

The image staring back at me, a version of me so cold

I see the pain in my eyes, the scars that won't heal

Memories of the past haunting me, can't escape what I feel

Trying to piece together the fragments, searching for what's real

But the mirror only shows me a distorted ideal

I try to hide behind a mask, pretending to be strong

But deep down I know the truth, I've been broken for too long


[Refrain]

('Cause I wanna take you home) Because time ain't valuable

(Staring at my reflection, oh) Because time ain't valuable


[Verse]

Misunderstood connection (Woah, huh, woah)

Feeling lost in the depths of my own introspection

Every flaw and imperfection, staring back with no objection

Trying to find some direction in this sea of disaffection

Mirror, mirror on the wall, do you see me standing tall? (Woah, huh, woah)


[Chorus 2]

Mirror me, mirror me, show me what I cannot see

Am I just a fading dream, lost in a silent scream?

Or can I break free, rewrite my own storyline

Find my own glory line, shine bright like the sun's shine

In the mirror, I see a fighter, a believer, a survivor

No longer held back by the chains of a past desire

Trying to piece together the fragments, searching for what's real

But the mirror only shows me a distorted ideal

I try to hide behind a mask, pretending to be strong

But deep down I know the truth, I've been broken for too long


[Bridge]

Embracing the fire, the burning flames of my own pyre

I am the author of my own reflection, never to tire

(I've been out there like a ghost)

(It took a long time then I come back)

So mirror me, mirror me, reflect the strength I hold

In this world so cold, in the stories left untold (I come back)


[Outro]

Swinging! Swinging!

Swinging! Swinging!

Swinging! Swinging!

Swinging! Swinging!
