I've been ill for the last several weeks - just starting to get some normality back - so this is the first I've written in that time...


THE MIRROR SHATTERS

VERSE
Better forget him
Just close your eyes
And will him away
I know it’s upsetting
But you will survive
To fight one more day

PRE-CHORUS
Your dreams have a price
The cost way too high
And one day the mirror
Will show you the lie
Believe it or not
You’re starting to rot
Consumed by desire
Enough is enough!

CHORUS
Every time you play his game
You think the truth don’t matter
But when the mirror shatters
Then your pride goes for a fall
When it’s time to walk away
He lingers in the shadows
The hunter shoots his arrows
You are trapped against the wall

VERSE
Tears fall unbidden
Weighing the risks
You know that you’ll lose
But still you believe him
Your heart still insists
He’s yours if you choose

PRE-CHORUS
That moment of doubt
You buried deep down
You hear all the whispers
But shut them right out
It’s hard to explain
It’s pleasure, it’s pain
It’s all that you wished for
And less than you gained

CHORUS
Every time you play his game
You think the truth don’t matter
But when the mirror shatters
Then your pride goes for a fall
When it’s time to walk away
He lingers in the shadows
The hunter shoots his arrows
You are trapped against the wall

INSTRUMENTAL

PRE-CHORUS
Your dreams turned to dust
As you stand on the cusp
Of heaven and hell
So you do what you must!

CHORUS
You pretend that all is well
When deep inside your soul
You know you’ve lost control
Of the strings tied to your heart
People say that time will tell
The truth will be revealed
The lies that were concealed
They will tear your world apart

CHORUS
Every time you play his game
You think the truth don’t matter
But when the mirror shatters
Then your pride goes for a fall
When it’s time to walk away
He lingers in the shadows
The hunter shoots his arrows
You are trapped against the wall

Nice one - I can hear a mirror shattering at the end of the track  ;D
I wonder if the pre-chorus could be trimmed down a bit to get to the chorus faster.
Good hook!

Hey,

I really like this.  I think a lot of people will relate, particularly to the chorus!
