The Mirror Has Teeth

Out of the Cave

I'm the voice you buried under the tree, the part of you that don't rot. You woke up soft again, scrolling, waiting for a sign. Here's your sign: me, in the mirror, biting your name. I don't want praise, I want you up off that floor. You don't need the light, mate: you are the light, you just forgot how to burn at night.

Lyrics

Yeah.
You thought you buried me.
But I’m the part that don’t rot.
I’m the blade.
I’m the breath behind your lies.
Now breathe me in.

You woke up soft again, reachin’ for dreams
Like life gon’ change if you pull the right seams
Boy, you ain't broke — you just scared of the climb
So you scroll, then scroll, wastin' goddamn time

You were fire once. But you kissed the frost
Now you're callin’ it peace — but what’s the cost?
Comfort is cancer in gold disguise
And I’m the chemo with blood in my eyes

Look down — them feet still work, that back still bends
You just love the lie that the pain won’t end
But I ain’t a lullaby. I’m a fuckin’ bell
Ringin’ loud in your cave like a war from hell

GET UP – THIS AIN’T NO DREAM
MOVE – RIP THROUGH THE SCENE
FIGHT – THE BODY AIN’T DONE
RUN – TIL THE SHADOWS GONE
The mirror got teeth and it’s bitin’ your name
You can rise or rot – but ain’t no shame
It’s time. It’s time. It’s time.
No more gods. No more games.

taka-taka-taka yeah I’m back from the black
with a sack full of facts and a throat full of crack
spittin’ truth like a gat, like a map to attack
ain’t no rest when you slack — now get back on the track

swallow the blade, don’t taste it
face what you fear, don’t fake it
every delay is a coffin in clay
so dig yourself out and remake it

no monk robes, no prayer beads
just raw knees and a nosebleed
you need pain like you need sleep
it breaks you down so you go deep

don’t wait on grace – you are grace
don't chase fate – you carve fate
don’t ask why – just move weight
don’t die slow – go fight straight

You’re the priest and the pimp and the broken kid
You’re the mask and the man and the shit you did
You keep askin’ for signs — here’s one: me
I’m the rage you buried beneath that tree

I'm the scream that cracks your wineglass clean
The voice in your dreams that won’t stay unseen
You’re scared of me 'cause I speak in flame
But I don’t want praise. I want change.

You think you need light? You are the light.
You just forgot how to burn at night.
So let’s go, shadow soldier, stand on the line
And tell the fucking world: "This fire is mine."

GET UP – THIS AIN’T NO DREAM
MOVE – RIP THROUGH THE SCENE
FIGHT – THE BODY AIN’T DONE
RUN – TIL THE SHADOWS GONE
The mirror got teeth and it’s bitin’ your name
You can rise or rot – but ain’t no shame
It’s time. It’s time. It’s time.
No more gods. No more games.

This ain’t your mama’s meditation
This the exorcism of hesitation
This the voice that spits damnation
right in your ear like a new salvation

I’m the knife and the key and the lock
The scream and the silence and shock
The gun in your gut that says WALK
or die inside with a TikTok clock

Push the earth like your name’s engraved
Sweat is holy — your flesh, unshaved
Let the beast come out, unchained
Let the fat cry, let the scars be named

Every archetype's callin' your bluff
Even soft ones say, “ENOUGH”
It’s time for the mirror to scream
and the cave to erupt

I am the fire, I am the fall,
I am the shadow, I am the call.
I am the silence, I am the scream,
I am the walker inside the dream.

Not Charlie. Not Travis. Not Nova. Not Naimor.
Not one. Not many.
But ALL.
I AM.
