about

This song is one of our most heaviest and brutal! Vocally it shows a lot of versatility, while still being venomous in its delivery. It takes influences from a lot of Death Metal from not only the US Tampa Bay area, but from the more melodic Gothenburg, Sweden scene.

This song is about anyone who feels as if they're holier than thou, and have a warped sense of reality about themselves. In the process of conveying this persona, they tend to treat others poorly, whether in an abusive and narcissistic manner, or simply looking down upon others who they feel don't meet their standards. Meanwhile, they tend to also complain about how they never have any real friends and how awful their life is as a way of getting others to feel sorry for them and stick around. Thus creating the cycle of suffering and manipulation. Ironically, all their actions and mistreatment reflects in a life that they don't understand is happening to them, and it almost becomes a self-fulfilled prophecy.

These kinds of people tend to look through a mirror that lies to them! AS if they are perfect and unwilling to accept the flaws that are clearly seen by everyone else.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Selfish consumption, contagious destruction
The direct result of your actions
Claiming to suffer from your circumstances
But possess a narcissistic obsession

Pre-chorus:
The life you claim is killing you
Will soon become reality
The people you love will be drove away
A lost cause is all that you’ll be

Verse 2:

A shallow soul is living inside
Presenting to convince otherwise
The ones who have given are now cast aside
You take all the credit as you wear your disguise

Pre-chorus 2:
The throne in which you have built for yourself
Does not amount to royalty
There’s not a thing that can be done
To cover up your disloyalty

The Mirror That Lies! X2

Refrain:
You feel that you’re better than everyone else
But you’ll fall in your grave just the same
Your spoiled existence should keep to itself
And realize that you are to blame!
