Mouthful of mirrors

You speak and every word is cutting through the dark
Showing me the pieces I've been hiding in my heart
I've been brushing off the truth like it would disappear
But every time you say my name, the cracks get crystal clear

I've been running from reflection like it's something I could lose
But the mirror never lies about the versions that I choose

I can't keep pretending
I don't see the shape I'm bending

With a mouthful of mirrors
I can't fake who I've become
Every truth you whisper
Hits the parts I try to outrun

And the more the picture shatters
I can finally see the sum
With a mouthful of mirrors
I'm the only one I'm running from

You said the quiet part out loud and I felt every piece
Funny how the smallest truth can bring a giant to his knees
I've been painting over damage just to keep the colors right
But honesty is brighter than the lies I used to write

I've been holding onto versions of myself that never stayed
But you handed me the mirror and it all came into frame

I can't keep pretending
I don't see the shape I'm bending

With a mouthful of mirrors
I can't fake who I've become
Every truth you whisper
Hits the parts I try to outrun

And the more the picture shatters
I can finally see the sum
With a mouthful of mirrors
I'm the only one I'm running from

Show me every fracture
I've been terrified to face
Show me who I am
Beneath the masks I try to chase

If the truth is what will save me
I won't turn away again
I'd rather break in honesty
Than bend until I end

With a mouthful of mirrors
I can't fake who I've become
Every truth you whisper
Hits the parts I try to outrun

And the more the picture shatters
I can finally see the sum
With a mouthful of mirrors
I'm the only one I'm running from

With a mouthful of mirrors
I'm the only one I'm running from
