Title:
“Reflections in a Broken Mirror”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1 – Dm, Bb, C, Am)
In a house of glass, we cast the first stone
Searching for the truth, the world we’ve known
The shards of reality, splintered and spun
In the reflections of a broken mirror, our journey has begun.
(Chorus – F, C, G, Am)
Reflections in a broken mirror, fragments of our past
Among the scattered pieces, we’re free at last
In the chaos of perception, where reality’s torn
In the reflections of a broken mirror, we’re reborn.
(Verse 2 – Dm, Bb, C, Am)
In the kaleidoscope of memories, we dance and twirl
In this fractured existence, a new world unfurls
Bound by the gravity of our collective fear
In the reflections of a broken mirror, we draw near.
(Chorus – F, C, G, Am)
Reflections in a broken mirror, fragments of our plight
In the shadows and the echoes, we find our light
In the distortion of the image, where truth’s unclear
In the reflections of a broken mirror, we persevere.
