Monster In The Mirror
(Verse One)
Oh, it’s quite a sight
Monster hopping out the cage
She was a doormat
Why is she engulfed in rage
Mama don’t love her
She finds daddy in strange men
It would be different
If he had asked for consent
(Pre Chorus)
She can fake a smile
Hide everything that’s vile
She fights so hard to not let it affect her
But, inside she’s dying
They tell her just keep trying
And they continue to use and neglect her
(Chorus)
And she’s starting to stand up
Only letting in the love love
But, sticks and stones can cut deeper than skin
And she tries to keep it deep
But, sometimes her trauma seeps
Into the world, she can’t keep it within
Monster in the mirror
(Post Chorus)
Monster in the mirror
Monster in the mirror
(Verse Two)
Oh, it’s quite the night
Monster tending to her wounds
Others have hurt her
But, the worst is self abuse
The ones she’s pushed away
Shoves her back with her regrets
Scared to make things worse
Stumbled words can be roulette
(Pre Chorus)
She can fake a smile
But is scared to start to dial
She fights so hard to not let fear consume her
And inside she’s dying
Don’t think she can keep trying
No hope or dream could possibly exhume her
(Chorus)
But, she’s starting to stand up
Only letting in the love
Yet sticks and stones can cut deeper than skin
And she tries to keep it deep
But, sometimes her trauma seeps
Into the world, she can’t keep it within
Monster in the mirror
(Post Chorus)
Monster in the mirror
Monster in the mirror
(Bridge)
The ones of the past
They ripped the seams
Thought that vulnerable
Meant she couldn’t scream
But she’s breaking out
She won the game
And she’ll make damn sure
You’ll rue the day
When you shattered her
You fucked with her
Scrambled her brain
With fake love for her
But, she’s healing now
Process feelings now
What you took away
She’s stealing now
She lost her ground
But she’s willing to fight
When she wants to quit
She stays out of spite
With the weight of the world
She’s still standing strong
And through her mistakes
She owns her wrongs
(Outro)
The bridges burned
She’s sifting through the ash
And she tries so hard
To get her old life back
And she’s learned a lot
But at quite the cost
On a quest for love
A monumental loss
Hates who she became
She’s on the path to growth
And from here on out
She will live an oath
“I won’t let a man
Take my everything
Won’t give up my throne
For less than a king”
