Glass Confession

Verse 1

Two palms on the sink

The other me is blinkin' back

Same broken lines on my face

Same chip on my shoulder

He says "You've been drinkin' again"

I say "I've been thinkin'"

He says "Same thing"

I spit the water out, colder

Pre-Chorus

He's been watchin' me

Since before I learned to lie

Since before I learned to measure

Success by the size of the lie

Chorus

Mirror talks

And I don't like the voice I borrowed

Mirror talks

Says the kid is still there

Buried under the armor

Mirror talks

And I been duckin' the conversation

Mirror talks

He ain't buyin' the version

I been paintin' for the audience

Verse 2

"You got the chain now," he whispers

"Got the validation

But every time you post a picture

You're checkin' for the hatred"

I told him I don't care

He laughed until I felt it

"Then why you still afraid

Of who you were before you made it?"

Pre-Chorus

He's been holdin' receipts

Every time I sold my peace

For a moment of applause

Now the silence is the lease

Chorus

Mirror talks

And I don't like the voice I borrowed

Mirror talks

Says the kid is still there

Buried under the armor

Mirror talks

And I been duckin' the conversation

Mirror talks

He ain't buyin' the version

I been paintin' for the audience

Bridge

I asked him "How do I become

The man you say I'm supposed to be?"

He said "Stop tryin' to be

A ghost of what you're running from

Stop callin' your trauma

A trophy you put on the shelf

Every scar you hide from me

Is a scar you give yourself"

Breakdown

He's not angry

He's just tired of the excuses

I'm not broken

I'm just afraid of what the truth is

Take the mask off

Even if the hands are shakin'

He's still here

He's still here

Even when I'm fakin'

Chorus

Mirror talks

And I don't like the voice I borrowed

Mirror talks

Says the kid is still there

Buried under the armor

Mirror talks

And I been duckin' the conversation

Mirror talks

He ain't buyin' the version

I been paintin' for the audience

Outro

Two palms on the sink

The other me is blinkin' back

First time in a long time

Neither of us turned away

Neither of us turned away
