Studio Venezia - Mirror on the wall Lyrics

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all?

Time to open up your eyes
No more silent subjugation
I'm not your perfect creation
Watch me rise above the noise
I'm more than your plaything, more than your toy
Shattered glass beneath my feet
My reflection now complete
In the fragments, I am free
Finally, the real me
