Lyrics
At Mirror's Speech
Reflections in the mirror
Inside of me, will always be
Internally, a persistent desire to remain hidden
The urge to not be seen
The inclination to avoid being noticed
Hiding the face I can't embrace
Concealing a persona that feels unfamiliar or uncomfortable
Crowding my world with falsity
Filling my world with falsehoods
Distorting portraits with ease
Easily distorting representations of myself
Warped entity, identity
A distorted or altered sense of self, one's identity
Is what they see what I believe?
Questioning whether others see the same as I believe about myself
Or am I lying to myself
Contemplating if I deceive myself, causing mental distress
Filling my head with disease?
Allowing negative thoughts to consume my mind
I fall apart
Experiencing a breakdown
At mirror's speech
When faced with the mirror's reflection
Speak not of my demons
Requesting not to talk about my inner struggles
Skin, bone, and teeth
Physical components of myself: skin, bone, and teeth
Dysmorphia lingers enthroned
A condition of dysmorphia reigning supreme
Forever clutching flaws I carved unto the stone
Forever holding onto and magnifying perceived flaws
Fallacious frame always to blame
Constantly blamed by a flawed perception
True image evades, portray me not
The genuine self-image remains elusive
Reading the room for defamation, fear of plot
Being cautious of others' negative perceptions or intentions
I catch a face, credence erased
Not recognizing myself in others' views, losing credibility
Is what they see what I believe?
Questioning the alignment of others' perceptions with my beliefs
Or am I lying to myself
Contemplating self-deception and its impact on mental health
Filling my head with disease?
Mentally overwhelmed by negative thoughts
I fall apart
Breaking down emotionally when confronting the mirror's reflection
At mirror's speech
When facing the mirror's reflection, similar emotional turmoil
Speak not of my demons
Asking not to speak about inner struggles related to appearance
Skin, bone, and teeth
Physical elements of the self, reiterated
Seams torn apart
A sense of being torn apart
At mirror's speech
When faced with the mirror's reflection, feeling fragmented
Speak to me of reasons
Requesting reasons to find motivation to face one's reflection
To seek to look at me
A lifelong desire to be seen authentically
All my life
Continual yearning for unaltered perceptions of oneself
Always longing for
Anxiety over distorted reflections in the mirror
Unaltered echoes in the glass
The absence of peace of mind due to shattered self-perceptions
Peace of mind
Fragmented mental state reflected by pieces on the floor
In pieces on the floor
Broken pieces narrate the recurring past
Shards tell of the same old past
Fear of facing reflections or images in the mirror
Eisoptrophobia
The fear of mirrors or seeing oneself in them
I fall apart
Emotional breakdown when faced with the mirror's reflection
At mirror's speech
Requesting not to discuss inner struggles related to appearance
Speak not of my demons
Repetition of physical attributes, indicating internal turmoil
Skin, bone, and teeth
A feeling of being torn apart, reiterated
Seams torn apart
Similar feelings of fragmentation when encountering the mirror
At mirror's speech
When faced with the mirror's reflection, requesting understanding or encouragement
Speak to me of reasons
Seeking reasons or motivations to confront one's reflection
To seek to look at me
A lifelong search for reasons to face one's reflection
