First time that I saw you,
cracking through the glass
Hollow eyes and twisted grin,
thought you were my past
Static snow and TV screams,
glitching at the seams
Were you just a nightmare or something in between?
You crawled out of my reflection
Said I'm living in denial
Every word felt like infection
But you've been here all the while
Mirror, monster, mentor - which one are you today?
Static bride in waiting, showing me the way
Mirror, monster, mentor - I'm finally listening now
What I thought would break me taught me how
To wear the crown, wear the crown
Chased me through the hallways, red lights in the dark
"Little liar," "little pig," tearing me apart
But every cruel word spoken was a truth I couldn't face
You were all my sisters trying to put me in my place
Not my enemy or demon
Just an echo of the cost
Every Rachel who's been grieving
For the ones that they have lost
Mirror, monster, mentor - which one are you today
? Static bride in waiting, showing me the way
Mirror, monster, mentor - I'm finally listening now
What I thought would break me taught me how
To wear the crown, wear the crown
In the music box room where we finally meet
No more running from what I'm meant to be
You're not the horror - you're the history Of every choice that led to me
Mirror, monster, mentor - now I see your face
Every frightened Rachel trying to save this place
Mirror, monster, mentor - we're the same somehow
What I thought would break me taught me how To wear the crown,
wear the crown I'll wear the crown
Static fading into clarity
Mirror showing who I'm meant to be
