Lyrics
Intro — low static, distant reversed breath
Flat spoken
hold the mirror up
watch it show nobody
Verse 1
Bad news hit
I blinked late
Mouth half-open
Wrong face
You waited
I stared through
Air went thick
I stayed loose
Pre-Chorus — thin hum underneath
Something cut out
Behind my eyes
I kept the lights on
For the lie
Chorus
You want the face back
I left it somewhere
You want the old me
Keep staring, she’s not there
I hear the question
Rot in the ceiling
Hold up the mirror
I have no feelings
Verse 2 — static breathing under guitars
Hands reached in
I moved away
Not from fear
Just decay
Your voice bent
Mine came flat
You said my name
I gave it back
Pre-Chorus — thin hum underneath
Something cut out
Behind my eyes
I kept the lights on
For the lie
Chorus
You want the face back
I left it somewhere
You want the old me
Keep staring, she’s not there
I hear the question
Rot in the ceiling
Hold up the mirror
I have no feelings
Silence Cut — 2 seconds
Bridge — flat spoken, dry close mic
I remember caring
It sounded louder
I remember breaking
It took longer
Now I just look
And look
And look
Final Chorus — buried vocal, heavy static swell
You want the face back
I left it somewhere
You want the old me
Keep staring, she’s not there
I hear the question
Rot in the ceiling
Hold up the mirror
I have no feelings
Outro — distant reversed breath, static thinning
Flat whisper
hold the mirror up
watch it show nobody
