Title: “Villain in the Mirror”

Verse 1
I throw glitter on a mess and call it art,
Smile like I didn’t just fall apart.
I light fires just to watch the glow,
Then blame the wind when it starts to blow.

I'm the friend who always runs too late,
Blame the stars, blame the twist of fate.
I ruin good things, call it “just bad luck,”
Then cry when the pieces don’t add up.

Pre-Chorus
People say, “You shine, you're fine,”
But they don’t see what hides behind—
I play brave, I play sweet,
But I trip over my own heartbeat.

Chorus
I’m the villain in the mirror,
Wearing crowns made out of fear.
I rewrite the story just to lose again,
Make a mess and then pretend.
I laugh too loud, I take it too far,
Chase my flaws like they’re shooting stars.
If there’s a monster here, it’s clearer—
It’s the villain in the mirror.

Verse 2
I text apologies I never send,
Write happy endings I always bend.
If love's a language, I mispronounce
Every vow ‘til it doesn’t count.

I dress up guilt in perfume and pearls,
Fake it well like the other girls.
But no spotlight ever hides the fact
I’m the plot twist holding myself back.

Pre-Chorus
They say, “You’re strong, just let it go,”
But I cling tight to what hurts most.
Sabotage in a sparkly dress—
I'm a beautiful kind of mess.

Chorus
I’m the villain in the mirror,
Wearing crowns made out of fear.
I rewrite the story just to lose again,
Make a mess and then pretend.
I laugh too loud, I take it too far,
Chase my flaws like they’re shooting stars.
If there’s a monster here, it’s clearer—
It’s the villain in the mirror.

Bridge
One day I’ll own it—
The cracks, the lies, the poems I ghosted.
But for now, I hide behind
This sharp-toothed grin and practiced lines.

Final Chorus
I’m the villain in the mirror,
With mascara-stained armor and shattered cheer.
I write songs to keep from crying,
Call it truth but I’m still lying.
Yeah, I dance through every scar,
Build a castle, then fall apart.
If the ending's near, it's getting nearer—
For the villain in the mirror.

  DEAR ANGEL from Aaron, to Angel [Verse 1] Hey sis, can you feel me in the quiet of your room? When the night gets heavy and you're drowning in the gloom I know I left a hole that no one else can fill But you should know I'm with you still You always saw the boy beneath the fame and fall When I was lost in echoes, you heard the call You held me close when the world turned cold Your love was the only thing I could hold [Chorus] Dear Angel, don’t cry for me tonight I’m the whisper in your heart when you’re losing the fight I know it hurts, but I’m finally free No more storms inside of me You were my anchor, my saving grace The only light in my darkest place Dear Angel, I never said goodbye But I love you more than words could ever try [Verse 2] Remember how we laughed in the backyard as kids? We built castles in the dirt, made dreams out of sticks I lost myself chasing shadows and stage lights But you were my compass in the night You prayed I’d make it, ...

  Title: "Paper Wings" Verse 1 In the quiet of the morning, You trace the sky with your eyes, Dreams folded in your pocket, But too afraid to fly. Your voice, a whisper in the thunder, Your heart, a flame in the snow, You're stitched from soft and splintered things The world will never know. Chorus But don’t you know you’ve got paper wings, Drawn in ink that never fades? Even if the storm begins, You were born to break the cage. Every bruise became a feather, Every scar a silent song— You're stronger than you ever knew, You've been flying all along. Verse 2 You talk like the wind might leave you, Like love’s just a trick of the light, But I see the fire behind your fear, And the way you still choose to fight. You carry shadows in your suitcase, But there’s gold beneath the pain, You keep the sky inside your chest Like a promise in the rain. Chorus Don’t you know you’ve got paper wings, Drawn in ink that never fades? Even if the storm...
