Rooms With No Mirrors

[Verse]
I learned to smile in borrowed faces,
Wore the dreams they left behind
Every heartbeat out of focus,
Every echo misaligned
I walked halls without a shadow,
Doors that never showed my name
Built a life of quiet echoes
Till the silence felt the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Every voice that wasn’t mine
Made me think I was defined

[Chorus]
I lived in rooms with no mirrors,
Lights on walls that never shined on me
I chased reflections of others,
Till I forgot who I could be
Now I’m searching through the daylight,
For a face I used to know
’Cause rooms with no mirrors
Never tell you where to go

[Verse]
I learned laughter out of duty,
Smoothed the corners of my thoughts
Made my heartbeat sound like music
Even when it hurt a lot
And the love I gave so freely
Felt like something I had owed
Till I saw the truth so clearly,
I was living by a code

[Pre-Chorus]
Every word that wasn’t mine
Pulled the seams out of my spine

[Chorus]
I lived in rooms with no mirrors,
Lights on walls that never shined on me
I chased reflections of others,
Till I forgot who I could be
Now I’m searching through the daylight,
For a face I used to know
’Cause rooms with no mirrors
Never tell you where to go

[Bridge] 
I shed the voices stitched to me, their shadows left behind,
The quiet truth beneath my ribs rewrites the tangled mind,
I step from mirrors built of glass into the light I find.

[Final Chorus]
I’ll leave the rooms with no mirrors,
Let the light fall where it’s meant to be
I won’t chase reflections of others,
I’ll return to being me
Every corner in the sunlight
Shows the cracks that let me grow
’Cause rooms with no mirrors
Never tell you where to go

[Outro]
Now I know...
Where to go.
