Mirror wars

Yeah, I been stuck in my head, can't mute the noise

Every thought like a blade, but I got no choice

Overthinking like a habit, yeah, I chew through joy

Smiling outside, but inside-void.

Plans on the table, dreams in a folder

Tryna play chess while the world plays poker

I don't fold, I just carry the weight

But I swear that pressure been messing with fate

I stay real, I don't fake like the rest

But being real don't always mean I'm at my best

I want more-yeah, purpose, meaning

But half the time I feel like I'm leaning

On a future I can't even sketch,

Got vision but doubt's tryna etch

Its claws in my neck, still I run uphill

If I don't break now, I know I never will

Mirror wars, I fight me every day

Got the world in my ear, but I push it away

Truth burns more than the lies they say

But I ain't tryna fade, I was built to stay

I don't dance for approval, I don't beg for a name

I don't need your applause, I'm okay with the pain

Let 'em talk, I'm still building' my lane

Turning fire in my chest to propane

People say chill, just follow the map

But I ain't built for small talk or traps

You chase trends, I chase impact

If I step in the ring, I don't step back

Every scar's a receipt for the lessons I bought

Learned more from silence than the garbage they taught

Used to fear being too much, too raw

Now I know that my edge is my law

I've been laughed at, passed on, told I'm "too deep"

But the surface ain't safe for a soul like me

So I dive-yeah, I'm built for the ocean

They skim the waves while I drown in emotion

They want calm, I bring storms

Not for the drama, this is how I was formed

From the dust, from the dark, from the ache

I don't break, I reshape

Mirror wars, I fight me every day

Got the world in my ear, but I push it away

Truth burns more than the lies they say

But I ain't tryna fade, I was built to stay
