Lyrics:
I've already told you I'm not a reflection
so stop using me as a mirror for yourself.
You must really hate yourself.

How many times have I proved I'm not here to threaten?
The demon you mean to kill is in yourself
but you're attacking someone else.

You need to believe we are lost without your wisdom
but you can't feel who is caught up in the middle.

You say what's "good" for all, but what's "good" for you?
You compare me to a drug. Well, I can do that to you.
You say it's for him and you know it's for you.
You can't stand to see someone as wanted as you
from his eyes that are tired from this bickering.
I'd kill myself now if that tiger could sing
but you're speaking for him and I don't live for you.
You can dodge all you want then claim I'm dodging you.

But I've already told you I'm not a reflection
so stop using me as a mirror for yourself.
You must really hate yourself.

No, this is not the first time I've dealt with projection.
The girl I loved struck me a crippled spell
but couldn't see the parallels.

You wanted more power because you once thought you had none,
but over compensation can only fuck the balance.

You say I'm bad for him, but that's you to me.
Try and claim that's not a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You say you're all-knowing but you fail to see
we all know psychotherapy is a bullshit degree
to use as an excuse for what you say.
You could be fighting either side and justified the same way but
cycling through synonyms keeps it the same.
You can put up your wall then say I ran away.

But I've already told you I'm not a reflection
so stop using me as a mirror for yourself.
You must really hate yourself.

How many times have I proved I'm not here to threaten?
The demon you mean to kill is in yourself
but you're attacking someone else.

So motherfucker answer me when I speak to you. You're not thirteen.
You're forty-four. You should know more than me.

Every time you laugh at me, there's a piece of you that sees between
the conceited, condescending words you speak.

I did not steal your life and I can govern mine
and still you criticize when you're no better.
Once more you've missed the point. It's not "you're wrong" or "I'm right".
You lack objective eyes and I'm no better.

And so you scream and shout, but he won't make a sound,
so when you push around, do you feel better?
Your pattern's clear right now. He'll never be allowed.
If you'd just hear me out, then we'd feel better.

You'll never ban my life in your myopic fight.
I won't shut my eyes to make it better.

And once I'm past this round, I'll no longer be found,
but it won't bring me down because I'll feel better.

You don't know how hard I've tried. (no)
You can't see the thoughts he hides,
and truth be told, I have lost my soul
to love that has no life.

I remember there was this one episode of Oprah where a guy from my school got a lot of media attention and a lot of records industries attention because his video on YouTube got popular. It was called "If Justin Beiber can be famous, so can I." The video is him playing another one of those bland, vapid songs in the pop-rock industry, and the only reason his video got famous was because he put "JB" in the title. You should have been that kid getting attention. You actually write music.
