Claw Marks in the Mirror

[Verse]
Teeth sharp, mind sharper, in the jungle of my brain
Thoughts stalking in the shadows, predator unchained
Velociraptor heart, sprinting past the pain
But the mirror in my cave keeps callin' my name

Tracks in the dirt, who left 'em, was it me?
Hunted by my choices, no escape, no tree
Feathers ruffled, can't disguise what I see
Past preys on the present, won't set me free

[Chorus]
Claw marks in the mirror, who am I, who am I?
Echoes in the distance, can't run, can't fly
Hunted by myself, no place to hide
Claw marks in the mirror, who am I inside?

[Verse 2]
Talons tap on stone, a rhythm of regret
Memories snapping jaws, ain't let me forget
Caught my own reflection, now I'm the threat
Prehistoric mistakes, a life full of debt

Fangs sink deep, not in flesh but in thought
Hunger for redemption, but it's never bought
Scales thick as armor, but my soul feels fraught
Fighting my own shadow, a battle I never sought

[Chorus]
Claw marks in the mirror, who am I, who am I?
Echoes in the distance, can't run, can't fly
Hunted by myself, no place to hide
Claw marks in the mirror, who am I inside?
