Reflex/Refuse

Lyrics

Intro

I see her
She sees me
One must break

Verse

There's glass behind my eyes
And she moves when I do not
Her shadow fits my shape
But her hunger feeds on ash

Verse

She speaks with lips like mine
But folds my name in wire
I look, I blink, I fracture
Something shifts behind the glass

Pre-Chorus

Not me
Not me
Not her

Chorus

I refuse
Her name, her whispers
I defuse
Her touch, her ending
This shell, this dress
Not mine, not mine
I spit her vow
I break the line

Verse

She hums inside my bones
A lullaby carved in echoes
Her teeth behind my smile
Feed on what I've forgotten

Verse

She waits beneath the skin
In perfume, silk, and needles
She grins through shattered glass
And makes the mirror bleed

Bridge

I burned her in a crypt of snow
I drowned her oath in empty rooms
You wore the veil, you spoke my name
The glass was cracked, the pact was made

Chorus

I become
The name I buried
I succumb
The threads unravel
This mask, this face
Half hers, half void
I mouth her vow
I cross the line

Outro

She is me
I am her
Now… no other
