Mirror in Silk

female vocals
polished
and low strings
soft kick
Pop ballad with female vocals
mid-tempo pulse and gentle swung drums; verse keeps it intimate with piano
pre-chorus lifts with rising harmony stacks and filtered percussion
chorus opens wide with a soaring lead and doubled oohs. Add a reversed swell before each chorus
a small bell sparkle on transitions
and a final key-change feel. Bright
emotional mix with close-mic vocals and glossy reverb tails.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They set the dress on the chair
Like it already knew my name
I fixed my smile in the glass
Then felt it drift away
I wear their hopes like lace
Tight around my breath
But under all that shine
I’m still standing here
[Pre-Chorus]
If I speak too true
Will the room go cold?
If I choose my shape
Will they let me go?
[Chorus]
Who am I tonight
When the mirror calls?
Who am I tonight
When the old masks fall?
I’m more than the line
They drew for me
Who am I tonight
Let me be free
Who am I tonight
Let me be free
[Verse 2]
I learned the quiet rules
How to fold my fire small
How to nod and hold my tongue
So I wouldn’t break it all
But my name still beats
Like a drum inside my chest
And I can’t keep living
Half a life at best
[Pre-Chorus]
If I stand my ground
Will the sky still stay?
If I take one step
Will they step away?
[Chorus]
Who am I tonight
When the mirror calls?
Who am I tonight
When the old masks fall?
I’m more than the line
They drew for me
Who am I tonight
Let me be free
Who am I tonight
Let me be free
[Bridge]
I won’t shrink
I won’t bend
To fit a frame
They invented
If I break
Let it show
That a true heart
Has room to grow
[Final Chorus]
Who am I tonight
When the mirror calls?
Who am I tonight
When the old masks fall?
I’m more than the line
They drew for me
Who am I tonight
Let me be free
Who am I tonight
Let me be free
They set the dress on the chair
Like it already knew my name
I fixed my smile in the glass
Then felt it drift away
I wear their hopes like lace
Tight around my breath
But under all that shine
I’m still standing here
[Pre-Chorus]
If I speak too true
Will the room go cold?
If I choose my shape
Will they let me go?
[Chorus]
Who am I tonight
When the mirror calls?
Who am I tonight
When the old masks fall?
I’m more than the line
They drew for me
Who am I tonight
Let me be free
Who am I tonight
Let me be free
[Verse 2]
I learned the quiet rules
How to fold my fire small
How to nod and hold my tongue
So I wouldn’t break it all
But my name still beats
Like a drum inside my chest
And I can’t keep living
Half a life at best
[Pre-Chorus]
If I stand my ground
Will the sky still stay?
If I take one step
Will they step away?
[Chorus]
Who am I tonight
When the mirror calls?
Who am I tonight
When the old masks fall?
I’m more than the line
They drew for me
Who am I tonight
Let me be free
Who am I tonight
Let me be free
[Bridge]
I won’t shrink
I won’t bend
To fit a frame
They invented
If I break
Let it show
That a true heart
Has room to grow
[Final Chorus]
Who am I tonight
When the mirror calls?
Who am I tonight
When the old masks fall?
I’m more than the line
They drew for me
Who am I tonight
Let me be free
Who am I tonight
Let me be free
