Broken Mirror Talk [Chapter 2]

(You’re not real...)

Then why are you talking to me?

(Listen, EmZeeEx…)

Every time I see that glass, I freeze

There's a face staring back that ain't me

Same eyes, same scars, same skin

But something underneath is wearing a grin

You talk like you know every wound I hide

Like you've been living somewhere deep inside

And maybe that's true, maybe that's why I run

'Cause every word you say sounds like one

You call me weak 'cause I hesitate

But fear kept me alive when I couldn't relate

You think destruction is the only way through

But look at yourself—what happened to you?

Broken mirror, broken mind

Trying to leave the past behind

But every crack begins to show

A side of me I never chose

Broken mirror, tell me why

Every answer sounds like a lie

Am I losing who I used to be

Or becoming what I fear to see?

(Alright Shadow. Let me answer.)

You fear me 'cause I know the truth

I've watched every second of your youth

Every insult, every sleepless night

Every moment you refused to fight

You built these walls and called them peace

I broke them down and called release

You wanted comfort, I wanted change

That's why to you I seem insane

Look at the mirror, stop pretending

You know exactly where this is heading

I’m not the darkness coming for your soul

I’m the darkness you already hold

(I don't want this.)

Too late.

(Leave me alone.)

You made me.

The mirror cracks.

And for the first time...

Shadow looks away.
