Her Own Reflection (Looking For The Spotlight)

by Vinny ILL

/

lyrics

In the dim-lit corner of a rundown bar,
There's a figure shrouded in shadows, going too far.
With a whiskey glass clutched in trembling hand,
She's the center of a storm, you wouldn't understand.

Underneath the lights, she comes alive,
A wounded soul, seeking to survive.
Her tongue is sharp, her words like knives,
In the name of recognition, she's lost her lives.

She's the howling winds in the darkest night,
A wounded soul looking for the spotlight.
With venomous words, she strikes and attacks,
But it's her own reflection she just can't turn back.

In the haze of alcohol, her demons awake,
Her self-esteem shattered, her spirit at stake.
She tears down others to build herself high,
She's the one who's drowning, oh drowning so nigh.
She drown so nigh in the darkest fear. Darkest Fear

But deep within the chaos, there's a plea for grace,
A cry for help hidden beneath her hardened face.
For the spotlight she seeks, it's a fleeting game,
A fragile heart caught in a cycle of shame.

She's the howling winds in the darkest night,
A wounded soul looking for the spotlight.
With venomous words, she strikes and attacks,
But it's her own reflection she just can't turn back.

As the night unfolds, her rage subsides,
The hurt she's caused, the friendships she's defied.
In the sober light of a brand-new day,
She'll grapple with the pain she's tried to push away.

In the cold morning light, she'll find her way,
Rebuilding bridges she's burned, come what may.
For in the depths of her turmoil and despair,
There's hope for redemption if she dares to repair.

But deep within the chaos, there's a plea for grace,
A cry for help hidden beneath her hardened face.
For the spotlight she seeks, it's a fleeting game,
A fragile heart caught in a cycle of shame.

She's the howling winds in the darkest night,
A wounded soul looking for the spotlight.
With venomous words, she strikes and attacks,
But it's her own reflection she just can't turn back.
