Mirror and Smoke

[Drum roll] [Drum solo] [Drum solo] [Drum solo] [Verse 1] (8 lines) I wake up staring at a stranger In the mirror by my bed She looks a little like the woman I remember in my head Every promise leaves a shadow Every truth becomes a lie I reach out to touch her reflection But she disappears before my eyes [Pre-Chorus 1 ](4 lines) Maybe I've been hiding from myself Behind the things I never say Maybe every truth I've buried Is the smoke that fills the way Oh Oh [Chorus ](Female Lead + backing vocals) I'm a mirror and smoke (Mirror... mirror) A face that no one really knows (Nobody knows... nobody knows) I keep searching through the shadows (Searching... searching) For the woman underneath it all (Underneath it all) I'm a mirror and smoke... Here one moment, gone the next [Verse 2 ](8 lines) I painted smiles across my sadness Till I almost called them real Learned to laugh when I was breaking Learned to hide the way I feel All the people think they know me But they only know the part I show There's a whole world underneath me That I'm terrified to let them know [Pre-Chorus 2] (4 lines) Every secret has a heartbeat Every silence has a sound And the deeper that I bury them The harder they come back around Oh Oh [Chorus ](Female Lead + backing vocals) I'm a mirror and smoke (Mirror... mirror) A face that no one really knows (Nobody knows... nobody knows) I keep searching through the shadows (Searching... searching) For the woman underneath it all (Underneath it all) I'm a mirror and smoke... Here one moment, gone the next Oh Oh [Guitar solo] [Guitar solo] [Guitar solo] [Guitar solo] [Guitar solo] [Guitar solo] [Guitar solo] [Guitar solo] [Bridge ](Female Lead + backing vocals) (Soft echoes) What if I stop pretending? (Stop pretending) What if I let the mirror break? (Let it break... let it break) What if all the smoke around me Is only fear I learned to make? (Oh-oh.) Maybe I don't need another face... Maybe I just need the courage to be seen. [Drum solo] Oh Oh [Final Chorus] (Female Lead + stronger backing vocals) I'm a mirror and smoke (Mirror! Mirror!) But now I'm looking through the haze (Through the haze!) All the pieces I was hiding (Let them show! Let them show!) Are the pieces that I'll save (Save them all!) I'm a mirror and smoke (Mirror and smoke!) But the mirror doesn't scare me now (Doesn't scare me now!) (Doesn't scare me now!) Let the smoke disappear around me... I'll finally see myself somehow (See myself!) Oh Oh [Guitar solo] [Guitar solo] [Guitar solo] [Guitar solo] [Guitar solo] [Guitar solo] [Guitar solo] [Guitar solo] [Outro] (soft female vocal) The mirror is still standing... The smoke is drifting away... I see the woman waiting... Behind the face I wore each day... No more hiding... No more pretending... No more disappearing... I can finally see me. [Guitar solo]
