Lyrics
Intro
Light on glass, nothing ever sits still
Verse 1
I drink my morning from a glowing screen
Newsfeed saints and silver-tongued machines
Everyone shouting what the truth should be
But it bends and breaks in the space between
Windows stacked like little borrowed skies
Every frame a different set of eyes
If I cannot step outside the frame
How do I know the world is not a game
Refrain
Touch the mirror, never touch the real
Verse 2
Streetlights blur into a quiet smear
Headphones full of someone else’s fear
Advertisements whisper who I ought to be
Algorithm prophets taking notes on me
Every thought feels secondhand and slow
Echoes of a voice I barely know
If every image comes pre-approved
Do I see the world or a filtered mood
Chorus
We are the mirror and we are the face
Looking for meaning in empty space
Bridge
Shadows on the wall in a painted cave
We name the shapes and pretend we are brave
Maybe the center is a moving line
Drawn and erased in a restless mind
Chorus
We are the mirror and we are the face
Looking for meaning in empty space
Outro
Light on glass, nothing ever sits still
