lyrics

Verse 1:
I see reflections in every house and every building/
In all of my friends and in my children/
And sometimes they reflect what I tried to hide/
You can hurt anything except my pride/
I lost my mind a long time ago/
Poppin’ pills every morning that’s okay they’re just medical/
Don’t smoke or drink no more/
But tomorrow never knows/
You can get older but you better grow/
If you wanna’ talk to the Devil sell your soul/
I’m a white rapper after Eminem just like the letter “O”/
Don’t hold on to the past you gotta’ let it go/
If you wanna’ live forever gotta’ let the idea of Heaven go/
Don’t stop here its pay and go/
A Monopoly/
This life ain’t what I’d thought it be/
So I just proceed cautiously/
You took my soul but you’ll never take all of me

Chorus:
Reflections/
Of my life am I livin’ right?/
Am I a walkin’ contradiction livin ‘how I’m livin’ like?/
These Reflections/
Are blurred but are getting clear/
But I still can’t see the man in the mirror/
Reflections/
Of my life am I livin’ right?/
Am I a walkin’ contradiction livin ‘how I’m livin’ like?/
These Reflections/
Are blurred but are getting clear/
But I still can’t see the man in the mirror/


Verse 2:
I can’t see the man in the mirror through all the heat and steam/
Eyes bloody red shot I owe a thousand apologies/
Most of them I’ll never get to deliver/
Another year older another cold winter/
It’s freezing ‘round here/
Its sweater weather/
I’m in my 30’s now/
I should of known better/
Is it too late to apologize better late than never/
But old habits are tough to break like leather/
The man in the mirror won’t look me in the eyes/
So I smile and laugh/
But that’s just a disguise/
Ain’t that some shit/
I’m a walkin’ contradiction/
Laughin’ at those on hard drugs with antidepressants in my system/
I try to live healthy/
stay right on the left/
Finish my meal and smoke a cigarette/
We all got our vices even if it’s just a glass of wine/
Enjoy yours I just couldn’t handle mine/

Chorus

Bridge:
Reflections/
Still can’t see past these Reflections/
Can’t believe this is my Reflection/
Still can’t see past these Reflections/
Never believe in your Reflection/

Verse 3:
I see reflections in every lake and in the ocean/
When this road get bumpy we were just coastin’/
My whole world seemed so wide open/
showin’ no emotion/
Now it seems I’m just old and broken/
The mirror has long since shattered/
Long after/
I prayed to God and he never answered/
Long after/
We started rappin’ backwards/
Long after/
the blue bird got killed by the black bird/
I am the Crow ya’ never know/
Nevermind/
Nevermore/
I was like a kid in a candy store/
Everything for free with no consequence/
Been livin’ with regret ever since/
We’re at the final countdown to Armageddon this is it/
At the End of the Road just like Boyz II Men/
It’s getting clearer/
The truth is closing in/
Now is the perfect time for us to begin again/

Chorus
