Broken Mirrors

[Long-Melodic-Intro] [Intro] From the depth of broken mirrors, the reflections I've survived, Pieced together, step by step, watch as I revive. Lines cut deep, the past and present intertwine, Feel the rhythm, hear my truth, in every verse defined. [Verse 1] In a home where love and deceit subtly blend, A mother’s warmth against the chill that the father sends. Battleground of wills, where spirits clash and collide, A mother torn by a world that her heart can't abide. Uh. [Verse 2] Elder and younger, siblings in arms, Seeking solace amidst false alarms. Roots deep but poisoned, an invisible strain, Youth’s journey rocky, marked by invisible pain. Yeah. [Pre-Hook] As the echoes fade, I find my pace, In the beats of my heart, in adversity, I face. The silence loud, but my voice grows, From the fractured roots, a stronger self arose. C'mon. [Hook] Navigating shadows, I emerge in light, Family ties that bind, that fight or take flight. In broken mirrors, my reflection's made whole, Rhythms of resilience, deep in my soul. Uh. [Verse 3] A father, a figure, from whom the facade fell, Revealed a narcissist’s tale, too harsh to tell. Sisters and brothers, in his absence, we bond, Finding solace and strength, a familial fond. Yeah. [Verse 4] Years reveal the depth of the masks worn by kin, Grandparents, uncles, where narcissism begins. Yet, from this lineage of self-love and deceit, I carve out a path where true self and peace meet. Uh. [Verse 5] My stepfather steps in, with him clarity rings, More a father than blood, from him real love springs. A brother from another, initially distant, cold, Now part of the fold, together we hold. Right. [Verse 6] Life lessons, learned in the hardest of ways, My story unfolds in the lyrics I blaze. Intelligence a curse, when misunderstood, But in my lines, it's a force for good. Uh. [Pre-Hook] As the echoes fade, I find my pace, In the beats of my heart, in adversity, I face. The silence loud, but my voice grows, From the fractured roots, a stronger self arose. C'mon. [Hook] Navigating shadows, I emerge in light, Family ties that bind, that fight or take flight. In broken mirrors, my reflection's made whole, Rhythms of resilience, deep in my soul. [Outro] Through broken mirrors, the truth refracted, In every shard, my spirit's enacted. This rhythm’s my story, every line a part, Beat by beat, from the heart, a fresh start. Yeah. [Pre-Hook] As the echoes fade, I find my pace, In the beats of my heart, in adversity, I face. The silence loud, but my voice grows, From the fractured roots, a stronger self arose. C'mon. [Hook] Navigating shadows, I emerge in light, Family ties that bind, that fight or take flight. In broken mirrors, my reflection's made whole, Rhythms of resilience, deep in my soul. [Outro] Through broken mirrors, the truth refracted, In every shard, my spirit's enacted. This rhythm’s my story, every line a part, Beat by beat, from the heart, a fresh start. Yeah.
