Cracked Mirror

Verse 1

Mirror cracked in this dark den

Hoodie stretched over double chin

Jordan sits, silent, bitter bread

Bills pile up, late fees unread

Fat fingers fumble for change

Loose coins, holes—hopeless hands

Ugly words shouted from boys outside

Not flinching, not blinking, just blank wide eyes

Four steps to the fridge, gasping

Old pizza, stale tastes lingering

Always hungry, never full, never fed

Cold lamp, cold room, cold sweat on his head

Chorus

Can’t fit in, can’t fit out

Jordan’s caught, spinning doubt

Can’t fit in, can’t fit out

Jordan’s life, shout it out

Can’t fit in, can’t fit out

Never fit, never found

Post-Chorus

Round and round and round

Down, down, down

Verse 2

Maybe I’m meant for less

Maybe broke is all I get

Maybe ugliness just seeps

Through these walls, through these sheets

No pretty people in this piece

Just pain, plain clothes, pocket lint

No luck, no lovers, no heat to lend

No one knocking, no one coming in

Still, I move, slow but sure

Still, I wait at the empty door

Still searching, still silent

Still hungry, sore, defiant

Chorus

Can’t fit in, can’t fit out

Jordan’s caught, spinning doubt

Can’t fit in, can’t fit out

Jordan’s life, shout it out

Can’t fit in, can’t fit out

Never fit, never found

Post-Chorus

Round and round and round

Down, down, down

Bridge

Freezing feet, fractured dreams

Moving through mud, mouth cracked clean

Never had, never held, never home

Still here, still him, still alone

Verse 3

Crush the clock against my chest

Crumbs fall, pride pressed

Brave enough to breathe, barely

Beat down, battered, but breathing

Calling out for a coin or call

Laughing at the late night wall

Still here, still hungry, still Jordan

Still ugly, still broke, still Jordan

Chorus

Can’t fit in, can’t fit out

Jordan’s caught, spinning doubt

Can’t fit in, can’t fit out

Jordan’s life, shout it loud

Can’t fit in, can’t fit out

Never fit, never found

Post-Chorus

Round and round and round

Down, down, down
