lyrics

[Verse 1]

I’m holding you and I don’t let go
The question, she’ll say no to
Move to the couch, leave me alone
Stare at my phone

Same photo, five times
Watch the lies, watch the lines
Under eyes disguised by smiles
Drawn on a while ago


Empty mental kingdom where I sit my throne
Haven’t grown

[Verse 2]

Just a child who never went wild
Styled by tv’s pop culture
Picking idols characters like a vulture
Hoping summer comes to the mess of Seth
A narcissistic, spoonfed wannabe
No spice for me,
just comic books, a trail of women mislead
While I seek someone who's actually read Spiderman

Miles Morales Google It

[Verse 3]

I live in a land that one day
A lady on a train will come and sweep me off my feet
and speak of hip-hop and souvlaki

Nice body, beautiful mind, Nash, clash
Planets aligned, find it with all my powers combined
So I’m the captain who planned it
Cooked endeavours find something new and land it
Take the area limit and expand it
I’ll manage to find her other side of town
No tinder on the subway just sandwiches

[Verse 4]

Hope this is a dream
Got that R.E.M - I
No one can hate you like you hate you
Dare you to try
It's not like I'm switching positions in bed
Well not women just laptops instead
I'm known for talking but I hate my voice
Insecurity I don't have a choice
I need noise, I try to avoid
I love without thought
but hate without reason
Small acts like treason
Empathy nah, sympathy, Maybe
I don't fit place me

[Bridge]

Make some time for self-reflection
In the mirror
In the mirror
In the mirror
In the mirror
In the mirror

Make some time for self-reflection
In the mirror
In the mirror
In the mirror
In the mirror
In the mirror

Make some time for self-reflection
In the mirror
In the mirror
In the mirror
In the mirror
In the mirror

Make some time for self-reflection
Reflection, Reflection, Reflection


[Verse 5]

Even old scars still hurt from time to time
Learned to ignore them on the grind to rhyme
Started to lose where the line went
Setting rules, Express less, express more
Do these things to be adored
Take a risk to be abhorred
I like a challenge by why you hate?
Others have it tough you’re not making it great.
It’s funny how they say words will never hurt you
but in the end, they hurt you the most
What by telling you the jump isn’t lethal
that’ll make you jump in first
Or sit at desk until you lie in a hearse
