‘Reflection’ is Sik World’s first official track and is a painful expression of himself and the depression and anxiety he goes through, him venting about his ex and fake friends are evident throughout.
[Chorus: Alex Marie Brinkley]
The reflection of my face, some wouldn’t even recognize
Or who put me in this place, I wouldn’t even recognize
Time has been so cruel, I could’ve blamed me but I blame you
I do…
[Verse 1: Sik World]
Lately, I feel lost, tell me if you find me
It's hard to put the past behind me
When my mind just sits there and keeps remindin' me
Of all the bullshit that I kept inside me
I'm not lyin' when I tell you I feel like I'm lost
It just feels like I trapped in my thoughts
I just sit there and think, and I think, and I think
And I think and I think, I lost it all
I am at home, I got my back against the wall
I feel hella alone, I got no one to call
And I'm still on my own because no one's involved
Tell me where do I go when everything falls
Damn, I guess that's why I'm makin' this song
I just sit and reflect on every single thing that went wrong
My best friend, he turned out to be a fake
The real definition of becomin' a snake
And I lost my girl too and that was my mistake
I put music above her and it took her place
And she's the one I love and my heart it just breaks
Because now I'm alone, there's no girl to replace
Yeah, I tried every day, but it's always a waste
Ever since she left nothing's ever been the same
Lately, it feels like I just been wildin' out
There's too many things that I'm findin' out
And my passion has been slowly dyin' out
And I'm still inside of a hole and I'm climbin' out
Just to stumble over, but I'm tryin' out
Lost my composure, so I write it out
I'm feelin' depressed and I'm hidin' out
I think that's why I'm cryin' out
[Chorus: Alex Marie Brinkley]
The reflection of my face, some wouldn’t even recognize
Or who put me in this place, I wouldn’t even recognize
Time has been so cruel, I could've blamed me but I blame you
I do…
[Verse 2: Sik World]
I guess I'm to blame, can't lie to me
Walk in the room and they start eyein' me
Feelin' overwhelmed with my anxiety
So I stay to myself and I overthink quietly
I stare in the mirror and vent there alone
You say you been there when I'm on my own
You say you'll be there when I know you won't
And you say you love me when I know you don't
I swear this depression isn't a motherfuckin' joke
Anxiety too, I deal with them both
I been losin' my faith and my hope
Still haven't found a way I can cope
Yeah, I think lovin' myself is the very thing that I need most
'Cause I lost everyone else that I thought I would always keep close
And to think, I gave you all that I can
You took advantage of me and ran
I made you who you are, now I ask
Why would you flip on me I don't understand
Told myself never again, never reach out for a hand
Never put trust in a friend, never give up where you stand
I gave everybody a chance just to see we didn't last
Nothin' that I been doing has been I pannin' out
I'm sufferin' and you stand around
And I'm fallin' so fuckin' hard I could smash the ground
Wishin' that I could have my mom and dad around
Anxiety got the best of me and I'm spazzin' out
Exhausted so much I feel like just passin' out
I wanted the fame, you can have it now
'Cause I ain't the same you can ask around
[Chorus: Alex Marie Brinkley]
The reflection of my face, some wouldn’t even recognize
Or who put me in this place, I wouldn’t even recognize
Time has been so cruel, I could’ve blamed me but I blame you
I do…
